Kangert ends drought as Astana reign in Trentino
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 04 - 2016

Tanel Kangert made it two wins in three days for his Astana team on the Tour of Trentino, the Estonian ending his three-year wait for victory on the race's third and penultimate stage Thursday.
Kangert, who last won in the professional ranks in 2013, triumphed after soloing away from a select group of frontrunners on the final climb of the 204.6km race from Sillian, Austria to Mezzolombardo, Italy.
Austrian Patrick Konrad finished second for the Bora-Argon team at 10secs behind, at the front of a chasing group that contained Kangert's Astana team leader Jakob Fuglsang and overnight leader Mikel Landa.
Landa, who rides for Team Sky, won the second stage of the race Wednesday, a day after Italian Valerio Agnoli crossed the line first for Astana on their opening-stage team time-trial victory.
Landa retained the race lead ahead of Friday's final stage, a 160.9 km race from Male to Cles, but has only an eight-second lead on Kangert.
Dane Fuglsang, however, could be poised to strike for overall victory. He sits in third place overall at 10secs off the lead.
Froome to lead Sky
Two-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome is to race in Sunday's Liege-Bastogne-Liege Ardennes Classic, his Sky team confirmed Thursday.
The 30-year-old has never finished above 36th in eight previous outings in the one-day race considered one of cycling's five 'Monuments' and is likely to aid his Polish teammate Michal Kwiatkowski's bid to improve on third in 2014, the year he became world road race champion.
Kwiatkowski will likely be helping Froome over the mountains during the Tour de France in July.
Sky team for Liege-Bastogne-Liege: Chris Froome (GBR), Michal Golas (POL), Sebastian Henao (COL), Michal Kwiatkowski (POL), Lars Petter Nordhaug (NOR), Wout Poels (NED), Salvatore Puccio (ITA), Ben Swift (GBR).
