El español Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) se impuso este domingo en la quinta etapa de la Tirreno-Adriático vivida sobre 230 kilómetros entre Ortona y Chieti. La etapa resultó un verdadero pulso entre los aspirantes al trono del Tour de Francia 2013 que dejó como nuevo líder al británico Chris Froome (Sky) seguido por Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff).

“Purito” Rodríguez atacó el grupo cabecero a menos de dos kilómetros para la meta y llegó con una ventaja de ocho segundos sobre un grupo de seis corredores que incluyó a Mollema (Blanco), Santambroggio (Katusha), Horner (RadioShack-Leopard), Contador y el propio Froome.

El colombiano Sergio Henao resultó de fundamental valor para Froome al poner un devastador paso en las rampas mas fuertes del Chieti para dar alcance a la dupla de Roman Kreuziger (Saxo Bank) y Andrey Amador (Movistar) que amenazaban alzarse con la etapa. Henao y Rigoberto Urán se mantuvieron en el Top 10 de la carrera de los dos mares. 

Froome quedó ahora en lo más alto de la general con una ventaja de 20 segundos sobre Contador y el italiano Vincenzo Nibali (Astana). Este lunes se disputa la sexta y penúltima etapa, con salida y meta en Porto Sant’Elpidio y 209 kilómetros de recorrido.
