Fernando Gaviria wins the stage and takes the overall lead

Weather at the finish city of Cagliari at 2:45 PM local time: Windy! 22C (72F), fair with the wind from NNW at 42 km/hr (26 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: All 195 riders who began the race Friday started stage 3 at 1:31 PM.

Here's the race report from Lotto-Soudal:

Under a clear blue sky André Greipel stood at the start of the third Giro stage, wearing the pink jersey. Just like Friday this expected sprint stage had a surprising end. Bad luck kept André Greipel from defending the maglia rosa and winning a second stage.

This last stage on the island Sardinia was 148 kilometres long and took the peloton from Tortolì to Cagliari. Immediately after the start four riders escaped the bunch: Tratnik, Rovny, Sbaragli and Zhupa. The only thing that mattered for Sbaragli was the first intermediate sprint after 35 kilometres. Afterwards he waited for the peloton. That way three leaders were left. Lotto Soudal took its responsibility. Due to the tailwind the speed was very high and the escapees never got more than three minutes advantage. 26 kilometres from the finish the breakaway was over.

In the finale the course changed direction and the riders got into crosswinds. That meant a chance of echelons! All teams wanted to protect their leader which made the situation very chaotic with several teams riding next to each other at the front of the bunch. With ten kilometres to go, Quick-Step Floors created an echelon. André Greipel was very attentive and was part of that first echelon of about ten riders. But then his foot came loose from his pedal when he had to dodge another rider to avoid crashing. The German champion got distanced. Lotto Soudal tried to close the gap on the front group, but didn’t succeed. Fernando Gaviria beat Rüdiger Selig and Giacomo Nizzolo in the sprint. André Greipel finished tenth thirteen seconds later. He crossed the line as third of a small peloton. Gaviria takes over the leader’s jersey from Greipel who does maintain the points jersey.

André Greipel: “The stage started well for us. The early break consisted of only four riders and after a while only three riders were left in front. We took control of the race with our team and didn’t give the break much advantage. We did the work all on our own.”

“We knew that with twelve kilometres to go, there was a danger of echelons being created because we got in an open field with crosswinds. I was riding in the first echelon when I could just dodge the rider in front of me and at that moment my foot came loose from the pedal. That’s how I got dropped from the first echelon. That is such a pity and I am disappointed. It was the perfect situation for me. Because Quick-Step Floors had so many riders in that group I could have kept calm in the back. A second stage win wouldn’t have been easy, considering the riders in that group, but I could have maintained the pink jersey. But as a sportsman you have to be able to accept these things. I definitely enjoyed wearing the maglia rosa and the atmosphere on Sardinia. Only the end could have been better.”

Stage 3 photos by Fotoreporter Sirotti:

Race leader André Greipel heads to the start line.

Here they come. The front group still has a small lead.

Feranando Gaviria has it won and teammate Max Richeze, who finished 5th, celebrates.

Fernando Gaviria wins stage three.

André Greipel (in pink) finished 10th.

Overnight race leader André Greipel after the stage.

Fernando Gaviria is overcome with emotion and he's helped into the leader's pink jersey.

Organizer's preview: A basically flat stage with light, easy undulating stretches throughout the course. After Villasimius the parcours features some short climbs on the coast road. The final part leading into Cagliari runs flat: the packed bunch will sprint to the finish.
