Euskaraz irakurri: Christophe Laportek irabazi du Dauphine Kriteriumaren lehen stage, eta lasterketako lehen liderra da

The French cyclist Jumbo-Visma Christophe Laporte ha cattle this sunday the first stage of the Critérium Dauphiné 2023, in Chambon-sur-Lac, and is thus the first leader of the race. Laporte has surpassed, almost at the same finish line, in the sprint, the Belgian runner of the Intermarché Rune Herregodts, who was part of the breakaway of the day and fought to the end for victory. The Italian of UAE Matteo Trentin He was second, while Herregodts was in third position. Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) has given in the final stretch 22 seconds with respect to Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma)who is the top favorite to claim the final victory in the test.

The stage has been marked by the adverse weather that the participating cyclists have had to face. In that context, a five-man breakaway, Dorian Godon (AG2R), Rune Herregodts (Intermarché), Brent Van Moer (Lotto), Fabio Van den Bossche (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Donovan Grondin (Arkéa) He has achieved an income that with about 50 kilometers to go to finish was around two and a half minutes; the terrain, full of ups and downs, did not offer the peloton too many facilities for pursuit, and in this way, the leading men have been falling out of the group of escapees, until, ultimately, Van Moer and Herregodts counted only with a handful of seconds ahead, about to enter the last 10 kilometers of the stage.

The young Belgian from the Intermarché, however, has not given up, and has launched decisively to play his tricks. The peloton was unable to catch him until the finish line, already with the sprint launched, and in fact he was only surpassed by the winner, Laporte, and by Trentin.

In addition to Laporte’s triumph, the finish has left a difference of 22 seconds between Vingegaard’s group and Mikel Landa’s; The Murgiarra, however, has seven stages ahead of him to ratify the excellent level he has shown so far this season.
