Stage 3 is another day for the sprinters and GC favourites will be hoping for a much more uneventful day.
Mahdar looks to get in another breakaway today. Robov, Mugisha and Mottin intend to join him.
The first attempt failed, now it's Lecourt's turn.
Doubey and Faglum Karlsson are trying to join the move.
Arensman with a solo effort struggling to bridge up.
The Dutchman eventually makes it and Kolev is able to join them. So 5 riders in the breakaway.
Halfway through the stage we see the same 3 teams as yesterday taking up the chasing duties. The gap is at 3'39''.
50 km to go, 2'03'' advantage left for the breakaway.
Same as yesterday the catch is made 8 km from the finish.
Trains are forming with 3 km to go:
Edmondson
Hayter
Cataford
Major
Cullaigh
Ewan
Afewerki
Stallaert
Jakobsen
Ovsyannikov
Cosnefroy
Guarnieri
Bennett
Jakobsen couldn't find his teammates' wheels, so it's only one train set by Podium and everyone else lined up behind them. Wippert, Appollonio, Cullaigh and Krieger look to be at the end.
Ewan is released with 600 m to go.
Ewan still leads with 300 m. He has Stallaert on his left, Afewerki and Bennett are on the right.
In the end Guarnieri makes a late push through the middle to beat everyone else to the line. Bennett in 2nd and Appollonio finishes 3rd.
Almost everyone finishes on the same time so no GC changes today.
