The 3rd stage of the Giro this Monday, May 6 seems to be promised to sprinters or punchers with a rough finale.
The essential
- The 3rd stage of the Giro this Monday, May 6 is 166 kilometers long between Novara, the second largest city in Piedmont after Turin, and Fossano.
- The stage should be the first opportunity for the sprinters to shine, even if the last 70 kilometers, which are quite hilly, may smile on a puncher like Julian Alaphilippe. Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step), Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) and Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) remain the favorites of the day.
- Sunday May 5, Tadej Pogacar has already splashed this Tour of Italy with his talent by winning solo and taking the leader’s pink jersey.
