Na Dirki po Romandiji nas prvi dan čaka prolog. Kratka vožnja na čas je pisana na kožo Jana Tratnika, ki se lahko spogleduje z zmago in oblačenjem majice vodilnega.
Payerne bo gostil uvodno dejanje Dirke po Romandiji. Gre za prolog, ki po svoji definiciji ponuja kratko vožnjo na čas. V tokratnem primeru se bodo kolesarji pomerili na le 2,28 kilometra dolgi trasi, ki skupaj ponuja vsega 3 višinske metre.
Veliko prostora za taktiziranje torej ni, od prvega metra dalje bodo kolesarji vozili ‘na polno’, po približno treh minutah napora pa bo jasno, kako so se odrezali. Pričakujemo lahko izjemno majhne razlike.
Jan Tratnik ima priložnost za uspeh
Slovenci bomo z zanimanjem spremljali današnjo preizkušnjo, saj imamo v boju za zmago Jana Tratnika. Specialist za kronometer je letos v odlični formi, ki jo bo skušal potrditi tudi danes in se podpisati pod zmago.
Uspeh na prologu prinaša še dodatno nagrado. Zmagovalec namreč obleče majico vodilnega, ki jo nato lahko nosi na 1. etapi. Zagotovo nekaj, kar bo Tratnika gnalo, da poganja na vso moč.
Član Visme-Lease a Bike se bo na progo sicer podal že zgodaj. Na štartni klančini ga bomo videli kot 45., njegov štartni čas pa je 15.34.
Na dirki bo nastopil tudi Matevž Govekar, ki bo svoj poskus začel ob 16.37. Na prologu resnih ambicij bržčas ne bo imel.
