Cort sprints to ORICA-BikeExchange's third victory at La Vuelta a Espana

  
     
 

ORICA-BikeExchange sealed their third stage victory at this year’s Vuelta a Espana today with 23-year-old Magnus Cort sprinting to a magnificent win on stage 18 in the Dane's first appearance at a Grand Tour.

A windy, yet mainly uneventful, stage saw an early breakaway of five riders develop a maximum lead of seven minutes before the controlled peloton made the catch with ten kilometres left to race.

ORICA-BikeExchange moved determinedly up the field as the battle for position began and it was Cort who exploded out of the bunch to take his first win for the team after jumping to the left and accelerating brilliantly to the line.

“It’s really fantastic, a big dream come true,” said Cort at the finish. “Our main goal at the moment is the general classification and protecting Esteban Chaves and Simon Yates, but every now and again we get the opportunity to give it a try.”

“I have been racing for many years now,” said Meier. “Although I still love the bike and I continue to enjoy riding, my passions outside of cycling have been growing.”

LAMPRE-MERIDA ancora in fuga grazie a Cattaneo

LAMPRE-MERIDA once again in a breakaway thanks to Cattaneo

8 settembre 2016 

Una delle rare occasioni per i velocisti si è presentata nella 18^tappa della Vuelta a Espana, la Requena-Gandia di 200,6 km.

Priva di uno sprinter di ruolo, la LAMPRE-MERIDA ha trovato comunque modo di mettersi in mostra e lo ha fatto nella maniera che ha caratterizzato tutta la Vuelta della formazione blu-fucsia-verde: attaccando.

Nella galleria di combattivi della LAMPRE-MERIDA della corsa spagnola, è toccato oggi a Mattia Cattaneo (foto Bettini) tornare in avanscoperta, dopo che aveva già centrato le fughe principali dell'8^ e della 14^tappa.
Il corridore bergamasco è fuoriuscito dal gruppo dopo 8 km di gara, in compagni di Beppu, Jauregui, Rolland e Vervaeke, toccando un vantaggio massimo di 6'50" quando al traguardo mancavano 86 km.

Il lavoro della Etixx-Quick Step in testa al gruppo ha ridotto notevolmente il divario, sceso bruscamente sotto i 2': Cattaneo si è rialzato a 25 km dall'arrivo, gli altri fuggitivi hanno proseguito l'azione per altri 15 km, lasciando poi spazio alle squadre dei velocisti e alla volata a ranghi compatti, nella quale la LAMPRE-MERIDA ha piazzato il giapponese Arashiro in 20^posizione (vittoria di Magnus Cort Nielsen).

Quintana affronterà la cronometro della 19^tappa indossando la maglia rossa.

ORDINE D'ARRIVO
1- Nielsen 4h51'31"
2- Arndt s.t.
3- Drucker s.t.
4- Bennati s.t.
5- Van Genechten s.t.
20- Arashiro s.t.

CLASSIFICA GENERALE
1- Quintana 74h30'03"
2- Froome 3'37"
3- Chaves 3'57"
4- Contador 4'02"
5- Yates 6'03"



The 18th stage of the Vuelta a Espana (Requena-Gandia, 200,6 km) offered to the sprinters one of the sporadic chances for them in the Spanish race.

Without having a pure spinter, LAMPRE-MERIDA succeeded anyway in showing the blue-fuchsia-green colors and they did it in the same way they had done during the whole Spanish race, that is attacking.

It was once again Cattaneo's turn to join the main breakaway of the race (photo Bettini): the Italian rider, who had alredy attacked in the 4th and in the 14th stage, escaped from the peloton with four athletes (Beppu, Jauregui, Rolland and Vervaeke) after 8 km in the race, reaching a top advantage of 6'50" at 86 km to the arrival.

When Etixx-Quick Step led the peloton, the gap decreased and the breakaway was neutralized at 10 km to the arrival, however Cattaneo had given up 15 km before.

In the final massive sprint, Arashiro crossed as 20th the finish line, the victory was obtained by Magnus Cort Nielsen.

Quintana will face the time trial of the 19th stage as leader of the race.

RACE RESULTS
1- Nielsen 4h51'31"

Vuelta a Espana #18: Sprint finale presents another new victor

Sbaragli takes 9th for Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka

Stage 18 of the Vuelta a Espana ended in yet another mass sprint and once again it was a new victor who emerged. Magnus Cort Nielsen (Orica-BikeExchange) was first across the line in Gandia, with Nikias Arndt (Giant-Alpecin) in 2nd and Jean-Pierre Drucker (BMC) in 3rd place.

Today's 200km stage, which started in Requena, presented the sprinters with one of the few opportunities to decide the stage in this year's Vuelta and so it was always going to be hard for the opportunists to try and make an impact on the stage. 5 riders still tried their luck in an early breakaway but with a number of sprint teams happy to help set the pace, the break was always coming back.

Nic Dougall was our man doing a massive amount of work on the front of the peloton today and the South African strongman was able to continue his pacing work right up until 11km to go, when the break was caught. Then our Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka riders focused their energy on delivering Kristian Sbaragli to a good position for the sprint finale.

It was a technical final 10km with numerous roundabouts, changes in direction and road width. Tyler Farrar showed his class though and was able to keep Jaco Venter and Sbaragli at the head of affairs and out of the wind coming into the last 3km. Sbaragli was then left to surf the wheels on the run in home and all looked very promising after the final right hand bend with 600m to go.

There was no team in real control of the sprint though and like the rest of the sprints at this year's Vuelta, it was very much a lottery when trying to pick who might be the strongest wheel to follow. As the riders spread across the road before the line, you could throw a blanket over the top 10 contenders and Sbaragli had to settle for 9th at the finish.

Nic Dougall - Rider
We were hoping a small break would go today so that those teams interested in a sprint, like us, would be able to keep things under control. That was exactly what happened but the five riders up front still got a gap of over 6 minutes, so there was some riding to be done from the peloton. After a really tough Vuelta, I was happy with how I was able to contribute today. Kristian was able to sprint for the win so that was good, that we were in contention once again. Now I'm looking forward to completing this home stretch we find ourselves in, with just 3 stages to go.
