Si è concluso ieri, con una cronometro individuale di 32,1 km a Schaffahusen, il 75° Giro di Svizzera. Damiano Cunego (Lampre-ISD) , fino a ieri detentore della maglia gialla di leader, ha dovuto dire addio alla vittoria tanto sperata.
Per soli 4″, infatti, Levi Leipheimer (Team RadioShack) è riuscito ad aggiudicarsi la classifica generale, disputando una bellissima prova contro il tempo in 41′ 14″. Damiano ha accusato un distacco di 2’03″ dall’americano. La tappa è stata vinta dallo specialista Fabian Cancellara (Leopard-Trek).
Per Damiano Cunego sicuramente una grande delusione, ma anche il riconoscimento del valore dell’avversario. Queste le sue dichiarazioni subito dopo la cronometro:
«Stamattina ho visionato il percorso della crono e subito mi sono accorto che non era adatto alle mie caratteristiche visto i lunghi rettilinei contro vento. Bisogna dare merito alla grande prestazione di Leipheimer che oggi ha ancora una volta dimostrato la sua forza in questa specialità. Sono dispiaciuto di non aver ottenuto il massimo risultato anche per i miei compagni che mi hanno supportato al massimo in questi giorni».
Ora attendiamo Cunego al via del Tour de France, desiderosi di rivederlo battagliare ai massimi livelli sia per la classifica che per le singole tappe.
