Triathlon, World Cup Miyazaki 2022: Gianluca Pozzatti trionfa su distanza sprint in Giappone!

La penultima tappa stagionale della World Cup 2022 di triathlon si tinge d’azzurro grazie a Gianluca Pozzatti: a Miyazaki, in Giappone, su distanza sprint, l’azzurro trionfa giungendo solo sul traguardo. La bella giornata per l’Italia viene completata dal nono posto di Alessio Crociani, mentre chiude 38° Nicolò Strada. Ritirato Sergiy Polikarpenko.

Si è tornati a gareggiare nella capitale della prefettura di Miyazaki sull’isola di Kyushu per la prima volta dal 2019 dopo due anni di stop a causa della pandemia: frazione di nuoto nell’oceano di 750 m (1 giro), 20 km in bicicletta (5 km x 4 giri) e corsa di 5 km.

Arrivo sul traguardo con le braccia al cielo per un incredulo e felicissimo Gianluca Pozzatti, che dopo essere giunto settimo sia nelle World Triathlon Championship Series di Cagliari che nella World Triathlon Cup sia a Valencia che a Bergen, pone il punto esclamativo sulla stagione vincendo in 53:11.

L’azzurro stacca nella frazione di corsa lo spagnolo Alberto Gonzalez Garcia, secondo in 53:17, a 0:06 dall’italiano, ed il portoghese Ricardo Batista, che si era ben comportato già a Tongyeong due settimane fa, terzo in 53:18, a 0:07 da Pozzatti.

Di rilievo anche la prestazione di Alessio Crociani, che si classifica nono in 53:55, a 0:44 dal compagno di squadra, mentre Nicolò Strada, dopo il 47° posto di Tongyeong, oggi è 38° in 55:45, a 2:34, infine Sergiy Polikarpenko, come già accaduto in Corea del Sud, è costretto a fermarsi nella frazione di ciclismo.
