Stage 3 map and profile |

Stage winner and GC leader Toms Skujins

The Race: I don't think anyone could have predicted the outcome of this stage. What a race!

Well into the stage a group of seven riders rode clear, including Toms Skujins, Jonathan Clarke and Daniel Oss. They built a lead of more than four minutes, but when confronted with the big ascent up Mount Hamilton, they came apart.

Skujins rode clear and was chased by Oss and Clarke and with 30 kilometers remaining, he was a couple of minutes ahead of the chasing duo and four minutes ahead of the pack.

Skujins was on song, and continued to pound away. With fifteen kilometers to go, he was running out of gas while Clarke and Oss were caught by the peloton.

Skujins didn't give up and finished with a little more than a minute in hand while Peter Sagan was the first of the chasers across the line.

Skujins not only won the stage, he becomes the new GC leader. Nice job!
