Michael Matthews wins Giro stage 3

The Race: A big break that included Tom Boonen, Adam Hansen and Marcus Burghardt went clear early in the race. They were kept on a short leash and over the stage's hilly terrain the sprinters in the break were dropped.

It wasn't until there were just ten kilometers left in the stage that the last escapees was caught, setting things up for the sprint. A sprint without André Greipel and Elia Viviani, among other fast men.

The pink-jersey-clad Michael Matthews was given a perfect set-up by Orica-GreenEdge for him to unleash his sprint.

Matthews won the stage and with the time bonus, slightly increased his General Classification lead, now six seconds over teammate Simon Clarke.

A sad note: Ag2r rider Domenico Pozzovivo fell hard with 39 kilometers to go. His face was bloody and he was carried off on a stretcher. Said teammate Hubert Dupont, who was one of the first to come upon the fallen rider, "I was really very scared. When he turned his face, I saw his eyes rolling. I really panicked. I do not even understand how he could have fallen."

Race doctor Dr. Tredici said Pozzovivo was conscious and breathing normally. When we learn more we'll post the news.
