Ancora volata, ancora Eduard Grosu vincitore, ancora Luca Pacioni secondo: è questo il verdetto della settima tappa del Qinghai Lake Tour 2018. Sul traguardo di Menyuan, il campione rumeno della Nippo Fantini ha firmato la personale doppietta precedendo il velocista della Wilier Triestina Selle Italia e l'olandese Tim Ariesen. In classifica generale resta al comando il colombiano Hernan Aguirre.
Era la settima tappa del Tour of Qinghai Lake 2018, con partenza da Qilian come ieri e arrivo a Menyuan dopo 169 km. Si è seguita la strada che taglia la provincia da nord-ovest a sud-est partendo da poco sotto i 3000 metri di quota dell’importante centro abitato e commerciale con due gli sprint intermedi, al km 22.8 e al km 71 per l’assegnazione dei punti della maglia verde.
Si è continuato a salire fino a raggiungere l’unico gran premio di giornata, quella di prima categoria di Jingyangling Yakou a quota 3767 metri sul livello del mare. La seconda parte della tappa è stata caratterizzata da due tratti in discesa e gli ultimi 20 km in piano con gli ultimi 3 km pressoché dritti fino al traguardo.
La fuga di giornata, formatasi al gpm, ha visto protagonisti l’italiano Seid Lizde (Holdsworth), il bielorusso Yauhen Sobal (Minsk), il lettone Gatis Smukulis (Delko) e lo sloveno Ziga Horvat (Adria Mobil). Il gruppo ha controllato andando a riassorbire i fuggitivi in prossimità del tratto finale in pianura con la Delko che si è organizzata per il proprio velocista di punta Brenton Jones, vincitore davanti a Grosu due giorni fa a Bird Island presso il lago di Qinghai.
All'ultimo chilometro ha allungato Pippo Pozzato, ma è stato ripreso proprio quando la volata è stata lanciata vedendo Grosu trionfare di giustezza sulla maglia verde Pacioni (che non ha ancora colto la soddisfazione personale, ma che saremo facili profeti a vederlo fare presto) e terzo l'olandese Ariesen. Nessun cambiamento in classifica, che salvo eventi eclatanti rimarrà così fino alla fine.
