Scheldeprijs 2020, Caleb Ewan brucia Pascal Ackermann (poi squalificato)! Secondo Niccolò Bonifazio

Caleb Ewan conquista nettamente lo Scheldeprijs 2020. Il velocista della Lotto Soudal ha preceduto in maniera netta al termine di una volata magistrale il tedesco Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe), poi squalificato dalla giuria per aver causato la caduta avvenuta negli ultimi metri di corsa. Sale dunque al secondo posto un ottimo Niccolò Bonifazio (Total Direct Energie) che precede Bryan Coquard (B&B Hotels-Vital Concept). Lontano dai primi, invece, Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-QuickStep), classificato in ottava posizione.

La corsa parte subito con un ritmo sostenuto, tanto che ci vogliono due giri del circuito che si snoda intorno a Schoten per permettere alla fuga di prendere il largo. Sono otto i corridori che riescono ad evadere dal gruppo: si tratta di Luc Wirtgen (Bingoal-Wallonie Bruxelles), Michael Schär (CCC), Dmitriy Gruzdev (Astana), Mark Cavendish (Bahrain-McLaren), Piotr Havik (Riwal-Readynez), Travis McCabe (Israel Start-Up Nation), Christopher Juul-Jensen (Mitchelton-Scott) e Lewis Askey (Groupama-FDJ). I fuggitivi però non riescono mai ad avere un margine importante sul gruppo che, guidato sempre dalle formazioni dei velocisti, li tiene sotto controllo.

A due giri dalla fine Mark Cavendish, da diversi chilometri in difficoltà, ha perso contatto con i suoi compagni di fuga ed è stato ripreso dal gruppo che nel frattempo si è avvicinato agli attaccanti, ai quali rimangono solamente una trentina di secondi di margine. Le squadre dei velocisti prendono in mano la situazione e cominciano ad organizzarsi in vista della volata finale, aumentando il ritmo ed avvicinandosi ai fuggitivi. La fuga si esaurisce all’interno dell’ultima tornata. Prova a resistere Piotr Havik che resta in solitaria ancora per alcuni chilometri prima di venire ripreso ai meno 8 dal traguardo. Le squadre dei velocisti organizzano così i loro treni in vista dello sprint. Il ritmo sale ancora di più e si scatena la bagarre per conquistare le prime posizioni del gruppo. Viene così lanciata una volata lunghissima, condizionata da una caduta proprio nel finale. A spuntarla, in maniera netta, è Caleb Ewan che precede Pascal Ackermann, poi squalificato dalla giuria, e il nostro Niccolò Bonifazio.
