Le Samyn: Hugo Hofstetter sorprende en un sprint agónico (Vídeo)

Hugo Hofstetter (1994, Israel Start-Up Nation) ha sido el más fuerte en el pavé de Le Samyn (1.1), de 201,9 kilómetros entre Quaregnon y Dour.
Después de una primera mitad de carrera de transición, Le Samyn esperaba con su tradicional circuito de 26 kilómetros repletos de pavé y carreteras estrechas y expuestas al viento, que los ciclistas han afrontado en tres ocasiones. Y ya en el primer giro el pelotón dio caza a una fuga de seis corredores y se produjo una primera selección de alrededor de 30 ciclistas, que perduró con alguna merma hasta la última vuelta, tras numerosos ataques y cortes neutralizados.
A falta de 12 kilómetros, Deceunick-QuickStep al fin forzó un corte favorable de una docena de corredores con el tractor Tim Declercq y el defensor del título Florian Sénéchal, además de ciclistas rápidos como Bryan Coquard (B&B Hotels – Vital Concept), Hugo Hofstetter (Israel Start-Up Nation), Giacomo Nizzolo (NTT) o Clément Venturini (AG2R La Mondiale).
En la resolución del selecto grupo, Hofstetter se impuso con solvencia y consiguió la victoria más importante de su carrera. Aimé De Gendt (Circus – Wanty Gobert) y el sub23 David Dekker (SEG Racing Academy) completaron un atípico podio después de una carrera de máximo desgaste.
La clásica también contó con la participación de seis españoles del Caja Rural-RGA, que perdieron sus opciones rápidamente en un terreno poco habitual para ellos. Sin embargo, en la carrera femenina, sí brilló la valenciana Alba Teruel (Movistar Team), terminando en décima posición.
