La Parigi-Nizza 2012, la ”corsa verso il sole”, è ormai entrata nel vivo e sembra che i pretendenti per il successo finale siano molti. Bradley Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling) mantiene la maglia gialla di leader, conquistata al termine della seconda frazione.
L’inglese, infatti, era favoritissimo per la vittoria nel prologo, ma il maltempo ha fatto la sua parte e Wiggins non è riuscito per un soffio a battere il tempo di Gustav Larsson (Vacansoleil-DCM). Wiggins ha poi guadagnato la testa della classifica dopo la seconda tappa e attualmente ha un vantaggio di 10″ su Levi Leipheimer (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) e di 18″ su Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team)- vincitore a Lac de Vassivière-, accreditati come i principali contendenti.
Il Team Sky ha potuto così gioire doppiamente nella giornata di ieri: Wiggins leader alla Parigi-Nizza e spettacolare volata di Mark Cavendish alla Tirreno-Adriatico, sul traguardo di Indicatore.
Al termine della Parigi-Nizza mancano solamente tre tappe, tra cui l’ultima una cronoscalata al Col d’Èze: c’è ancora tempo per divertirsi e per darsi battaglia.
