È strano come i grandi campioni riescano a ricordarci la loro forza nei momenti più inaspettati. Il terribile incidente di Bernal, avvenuto poco più di un anno fa, aveva messo in discussione la sua carriera, mentre sia Sagan che Gaviria hanno lottato numerose volte col Covid. 

Ma Egan Bernal, Peter Sagan o Fernando Gaviria ci hanno ricordato ieri alla Vuelta San Juan che non si può mai escluderli.

Nel finale ha tentato la fuga anche Filippo Ganna che però ha finito per chiudere al terzo posto -  “Ci sono scalatori di 70 kg, io viaggio sui 90 ma proverò a cogliere ogni occasione che mi si proporrà. Come oggi, che ho sprintato con i migliori velocisti al mondo» -

La maglia di leader della classifica generale va ora a Gaviria.
