The Uno-X Mobility team almost snatched a surprise victory when Søren Wærenskjold launched a solo attack in the final kilometre of stage 7 of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tirreno-Adriatico today. Wærenskjold was trying to lead out 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexander Kristoff for the final bunch sprint, but chaos a🌞nd the windꦗ forced a change of plans.
“I felt we were a little bit too much in front with only one guy in the last straight with so much headwind so I just let him go and try to scream to go♒,” Kristoff told after the finish.
“And then it was a bit of chaos and we almost to𝓡ok advantage of it.”
Kristoff was hoping for better execution in San Benedetto del Tronto, after he admitted that the team “messed up a little” on the crucia🌟l final right-hander on stage 2.
The Norwegian team had played their cards perfectly in the final stage, staying mostly out of the wind for the beginning hilly route and letting Lidl-Trek and Alpecin-Deceuninck do most of the pacemaking. Inside of 20 kilometres to go, the Uno-X riders massed at🍸 the front, stating their intention to contest the bunch sprint.
The battle for control intensified in the final 2.5km as the peloton flew around a couple of tight corners, with Uno-X emerging as♕ the leaders. They resisted a challenge by 💞Movistar and were still in control with 1.5km to go.
Wærenskjold led the peloton throug✱h the corners with 1km to go while Kristoff, about eighth wheel back, screamed to his teammate to go.
Wærenskjold, winner of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage 2 at AlUla Tour, put his head down and quickly was 10 bike lengths distance ahead. Behind, Lidl-Trek’s Simone Consonni with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Milan and Kristoff on his wheel, gave chase.
Just as his teammate was about to be caught, Kristoff was the first sprinter to open up his sprint wiཧth only a flying Milan able to come around him
“Maybe I go a bit too early. I was on the wheel of Milan, but then Jasper [Philipsen] came and pushed me a little bit in the wind so I felt better♐ start now than sit in the wind. So yeah, we had also had Soren in the front with a late attack and with a littleཧ bit less headwind maybe it could have worked.”
