Ultimi Km

Dopo le tre fatiche e prima del weekend conclusivo è tempo per i velocisti di godersi il meritato riposo. La sesta tappa, da Valence a Nyons, torna a sorridere infatti ai velocisti anche se la volata dovrà essere conquistata tramite le due salite in programma. Passata Pont-de-Quart, infatti, i corridori si arrampicheranno prima per il lungo (10,7) ma pedalabile (3,8) Col de Premol. Superata una prima pedalabile discesa e giunti al secondo traguardo volante, verso Verclause, sarà l'ora del più duro Col des Touettes: 5,5 al 5,9% che possono mettere in difficoltà qualche sprinter. Dalla cima, però, mancheranno ancora 56 chilometri alla prevedibile volata - a ranghi compatti o ristretti - in quel di Nyons
TRAGUARDI VOLANTI: Montnorin (756 m, Km 116), Verclause (525 m, Km 141,5).
GPM: Col de Premol (2° Categoria, 959 m, 10.7 Km al 3.8%, Km 96), Col des Touettes (2° Categoria, 1111 m, 5.5 Km al 5.9%, Km 121,5).
PUNTO DI RIFORNIMENTO: Pont de Quart (438 m, Km 73).

6a Tappa: Valence > Nyons 177,5 Km
Un meritato riposo dopo tre fatiche, una tappa dove i velocisti possono tornare a dire la loro. Prima del gran finale sarà un altro sprint di gruppo a fare da padrone alla Parigi > Nizza 2015. 177 chilometri e mezzo da Valence a Nyons con due gran premi della montagna che potranno tagliare fuori qualcuno dalla volata finale. Dopo la bagarre dei primi chilometri vanno in fuga Blel Kadri dell'Ag2r-La Mondiale, Thomas Voeckler dell'Europcar, Nathan Brown della Cannondale-Garmin, Enrico Barbin della Bardiani-CSF, Jonathan Hivert della Bretagne-Seché, Dries Devenys della IAM Cycling, Simon Clarke dell'Orica-Greenedge e Cesare Benedetti della Bora-Argon 18. Fuga che sta bene al gruppo tranne alla MTN che in un primo momento prova a ricucire con Goss in persona, fallendo il ricongiungimento.

E' la Katusha a tenere la fuga sotto controllo, insieme alla Trek con Rast e Mc Connell. In cima al Premol la fuga ha 5 minuti - lo sprint per i punti viene vinto da Voeckler, su Brown, Clarke, Benedetti ed Hivert. Vantaggio che scende a 4'30'' al successivo sprint posto in località Montnorin, dove Clarke batte Hivert e Barbin. Inizia quindi per il gruppo il col de Tuettes ed inizia con Thiago Machado davanti a tutta.

Il forcing della Trek e della Katusha ha parziale successo - perdono le ruote sulle pendenze, comunque dolci, della salita, una ventina di corridori tra cui Ferrari, Stannard, Dumolin, Modolo, Barta, Turgot, Langeveld, Rast e Farrar. Tengono anche se non senza fatica Kittel, Cavendish e gli altri velocisti. Il forcing riduce a 3' il vantaggio dei fuggitivi in cima dove Hivert batte Voeckler, Benedetti, Brown e Clarke. Terminata la salita sono sempre Katusha e Trek a continuare l'inseguimento aiutate dall'Etixx-Quickstep con Verona e De La Cruz.
Al secondo sprint con abbuoni è Clarke a passare davanti a Devenys e Barbin - 90 i secondi di vantaggio fino al ricongiungimento che arriva ai 7 dalla linea bianca. Si formano i treni di Giant ed Etixx per Kittel e Cavendish ma è Bradley Wiggins che prova ad attaccare quando alla linea bianca mancano a 1500 metri.

Boasson Hagen non si fa prendere alla sprovvista e segue immediatamente l'ex compagno di squadra - la Giant però reagisce lasciando passare i due a 5'' sotto la Flame Rouge e chiudendo ai -400. Tra gli altri Sagan è pilotato nelle prime posizioni da Tosatto e Bennati, Kristoff da Rodriguez e Vicioso mentre anche Greipel opta per il treno. E' Cavendish a partire per primo provando ad anticipare la volata ai -200, Kittel esce immediatamente dalla ruota di Degenkolb per tentare di saltare il britannico - lo affianca proprio sulla linea del traguardo non riuscendo, però, a sopravanzarlo. Cavendish porta quindi a casa la 6a tappa della Nizza 2015, la seconda per la Etixx - Quickstep in questa corsa. Maglia gialla ancora sulle spalle di Fabio Aru, domani e dopodomani chiamato alla prova più difficile.

Tappa di transizione...Albasini stava decisamente meglio di Ewan, che forse ha anche patito il forcing in salita, peccato aver "sprecato" lo svizzero nel treno, col senno di poi forse era meglio puntare su di lui per la volata.

Ennesimo secondo posto, peccato davvero perché stiamo correndo molto bene.

Bravo Haussler di nuovo in top 10: per ora il migliore dei nostri, anche se domani proveremo a migliorarci.

Giornata di riposo prima del gran finale!
