Parasfrasando una bella canzone melodica di Aleandro Baldi e Francesca Alotta, verrebbe da chiedere a Elia Viviani nell’immediato dopo corsa di un’avvincente Gent-Wevelgem: ”Dimmi perché piangi…”. È indubbio che lo sprinter veronese abbia svolto un’ottima volata in rimonta e da questa consapevolezza possa nascere anche un po’ di rammarico per non avere azzeccato i tempi giusti.
