Tour Gran Bretaña: Segunda victoria para Ewan

Caleb Ewan ha sumado su segunda etapa en esta edición del Tour of Britain, tras ganar de nuevo al sprint en Scunthorpe. El joven australiano ha batido, otra vez, a Edvald Boasson Hagen y de nuevo en una llegada muy reñida. Tercero ha sido Kristoff (Katusha).

La etapa se ha disputado hoy bajo un tremendo aguacero. Una vez más, la escapada del día se formó en los primeros compases de la etapa. En este caso, apenas pasados nueve kilómetros: Graham Briggs (JLT Condor) y Matthew Holmes (Madison Genesis) repetían aventura después de haber estado escapados ayer. El resto del grupo eran Ian Bibby (JLT Condor), Peter Williams (One Pro Cycling) y Harry Tanfield (Bike Channel).

Nuevamente, el pelotón ha ido cerrando el hueco a medida que se acercaba para preparar la llegada masiva al final. Rob Partridge (Bike Channel) ha tratado de sorprender a 10 de meta, pero su intento no ha tenido éxito, quedando la carrera vista para sentencia con el sprint. Con esta victoria, por cierto, Ewan se pone líder con seis segundos de ventaja por delante de Viviani.

Mañana tendrá lugar la cuarta etapa de la carrera, también de perfil más o menos llano, antes de la contrarreloj del jueves que se antoja decisiva. La salida será en Mansfield y la meta en Newark-on-Trent, sobre 164 kilómetros de recorrido.
