@ Ian Butler: Thanks! You are one of my 'inspirators' (together with Dienblad), so I'm glad you like it!

STAGE 3
PRE-RACE
Alberto: I will win today. I don't know why, but I feel great today!
Chris: I'm the better sprinter, so I will win today.
209km to go
Let's start! Chris Froome still wears yellow, Alberto Contador may wear the green jersey and the guy from the local television wears an Ag2r shirt.
113km to go
Contador can have the points at the only intermediate today. He must ride in front the entire day, since Froome has nothing to lose.
10km to go
Both decided not to attack today, so they're heading into the last 10000 meters together. Somehow, Alberto convinced Chris to ride in front.
5000m to go
5km left! Will Contador take revenge for yesterday or will Froome claim victory 3 days in a row.
3000m to go
The sprint is on with Froome in the lead.
1000m to go
Under the flag and the Brit is still leading. The Spaniard applies the same tactics Froome did yesterday.
500m to go
Contador overtakes Froome!
0m to go
Alberto Contador takes the victory! The organizers decided that, unlike yesterday, Froome finishes in the same time, meaning the gap in the GC is still 11 seconds.
Stage:
| Rank | Name | Time | | 1 | Alberto Contador | 5h35'08 | | 2 | Chris Froome | s.t. |
GC:
| Rank | Name | Time | | 1 | Chris Froome | 11h40'31 | | 2 | Alberto Contador | + 11 |
Points:
| Rank | Name | Points | | 1 | Alberto Contador | 119 | | 2 | Chris Froome | 109 |
Mountain:
| Rank | Name | Points | | 1 | Alberto Contador | 4 | | 2 | Chris Froome | 1 |
Victory:
| Rank | Name | Victories | | 1 | Chris Froome | 2 | | 2 | Alberto Contador | 1 |
Jersey:
| Rank | Name | Jerseys | | 1 | Chris Froome | 8 | | 2 | Alberto Contador | 3 |

I can already tell that the flat stages are going to be very boring, the one leading out the final sprint always loses
guess the mountains need to make up for that

@ Selwink: Agree, especially since it looks like this gap is bigger as in stage 2.
@ sutty68 & Ian Butler: Thanks!
@ SSJ2Luigi: I know, but they have to be raced before we can get to the mountains. However, the enxt stage is hilly, so I expect more fireworks there.

@ Cycleman123 & jseadog1: He's not so good in cycling, so it's impossible for him to keep up with Contador and Froome

He stands still for a few minutes after the start (don't know why) and then he rides behind Froomdor. He usually finishes 7 minutes behind them

STAGE 4
PRE-RACE
Alberto: I will do the same as yesterday, winning!
Chris: Contador must be tired after yesterday's race, so I can win easily!
197km to go
The race organizer waves to flag to mark the beginning of today's stage. 197 kilometers between Orchies and Boulogne-sur-Mer. The last part of the race is uphill, so we can expect excitement!
101km to go
The riders are saving their powers. Alberto Contador gets the points today without sprinting.
66km to go
No sprint needed for the first mountain points either. It's Alberto who takes charge all day long.
34km to go
They are relaying. Alberto somehow convinced Chirs Froome to do some wokr. But it's the Spaniard who secures his lead in the mountain classification.
17km to go
Contador again. We're in the final hilly part of the race. Will we see attacks or are they going to sprint again?
12km to go
Wait, what's going on here? Contador attacks up the Cote de Quehen. Is he going for the points or is he trying to get rid of Froome?
11km to go
The points is the correct answer!
6000m to go
Froome is sprinting for some mountain points. He might waste energy by doing this, which can cause him to lose today.
5000m to go
Froome continues! Is he avoiding a sprint because Contador won yesterday?
1000m to go
Froome has a gap around half a minute. We are heading into the final kilometer, which is going uphill.
0m to go
Chris Froome cruises to victory today by attacking. Who would have thought that? Alberto Contador managed to close the gap down to 18 seconds, but his backlog increased to 29 seconds.

| Rank | Name | Time | | 1 | Chris Froome | 5h25'09 | | 2 | Alberto Contador | + 18 |
