Tour de California: Lieuwe Westra vence a ‘Paco’ Mancebo y es el primer líder. Jánier Acevedo a 16 segundos del liderato

El corredor Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil–DCM), ganó la primera etapa del Amgen Tour de California 2013 que se desarrolló en Escondido (San Diego), con tiempo de 4 horas, 31 minutos, 33 segundos para los 165 kms. El corredor holandés, de 30 años, superó en la llegada al español Francisco ‘Paco’ Mancebo, (5 Hour Energy).

A seis segundos entró un lote de 49 pedalistas liderado por el eslovaco Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling). En ese paquete también estaba el único colombiano en acción, el antioqueño Jánier Acevedo, del elenco estadounidense Jamis–Hagens Berman, quien cruzó la meta en el puesto 24. A 20 segundos pasó el italiano Marco Pinotti (BMC Racing), y a 35 su compañero, el suizo Michael Schar.

Dos de los máximos favoritos, el australiano Michael Rogers (Saxo Bank–Tinkoff), y el luxemburgués Andy Schleck (RadioShack–Leopard), igualmente pasaron a seis segundos de Westra. Pero hubo candidatos al título de esta octava versión que salieron mal librados en la jornada de apertura:

El belga Philippe Gilbert (BMC Racing), y el francés Sylvain Chavanel (Omega Pharma–Quick Step), cada uno perdió 9 minutos, 11 segundos; pero los más damnificados de los que llegaron con el rótulo de aspirantes al cetro fueron el anfitrión Tyler Farrar (Garmin–Sharp), al cruzar a 10,18 minutos, y el belga Thomas de Gendt (Vacansoleil–DCM) tras arribar a 18.40 minutos.

Para Acevedo esta es la segunda carrera estadounidense seguida en la que toma parte luego de haber competido en el Tour de Gila, del primero al 5 de mayo, en el que ganó la fracción inicial de 151.4 kms entre Silver City y Mogollón (Nuevo México). Culminó quinto en la general y segundo entre los escaladores.

Este lunes se correrá la segunda etapa, la más larga, sobre 199,7 kms, de Murrieta a Greater Palm Springs. A los 80 kms comenzará un ascenso de 20 kms hasta llegar a Idyllwild, allí empezará un descenso de 24 kms hasta el valle de Coachella, donde nuevamente encontrarán terreno llano por 20 kms más, antes de los seis kms finales, una escalada. La jornada termina en premio de montaña ideal para los intereses de nuestro escarabajo que se distingue en esta clase de jornadas.
