Nishitani vence en Langkawi, Celis (Footon) 3º

El japonés Taiji Nishitani (Aisan Racing Team) ha ganado la cuarta etapa, Mersing-Parit Sulong, de 163,5 kilómetros, del Tour de Langkawi tras batir al australiano Michael Matthews (Team Jayco-Skins) y al cántabro Vidal Celis (Footon-Servetto-Fuji). Clasificaciones completas:

Crónica Footon-Servetto:

El japonés Taiji Nishitani (Aisan) sorprendió a los grandes velocistas del
15º Tour de Langkawi para adjudicarse la cuarta etapa, sobre 164 kilómetros entre Mersing y Parit Sulong, en la que Vidal Celis (Footon-Servetto-Fuji) volvió a responder al trabajo de todo su equipo para adjudicarse su segundo podio en la península malaya, justo por detrás del hasta ahora dominador Matthews (Jayco). El equipo dirigido por Joxean Fernández Matxin tomó las riendas de la carrera una jornada más, de nuevo en compañía del equipo ISD, con el fin de neutralizar por completo la escapada de Ackermann (Vorarlberg) y Fallanie (Selección de Malasia), de la cual el suizo fue único superviviente hasta los últimos 6 kilómetros tras tener cuatro minutos de ventaja sólo veinte kilómetros atrás.

Tremendamente regular durante las cuatro primeras jornadas de carrera -en las que no ha bajado del séptimo puesto-, al cántabro de Valles sólo le resta el salto hacia la victoria, para el cual tendrá aún dos oportunidades más: el cierre de la carrera, con el circuito urbano en Kuala Lumpur del próximo domingo, y la jornada de mañana viernes, con 112 kilómetros entre Muar y Port Dickson, en los que Erler (Tabriz) volverá a partir de amarillo.

La cara amarga de la prueba para Footon-Servetto-Fuji es, de momento, la del alicantino Rafael Valls: envuelto en una espectacular caída en la jornada de ayer, el de Cocentaina, uno de los grandes favoritos para la clasificación general, concluyó la tercera etapa, pero sus heridas en la rodilla izquierda estuvieron a punto de forzarle a abandonar en la jornada de hoy. La evolución de sus dolores determinará, la suerte de la escuadra dorada en la etapa reina del sábado.
