LIVE Tour de France 2024 possible change of Yellow Jersey

The third stage of the Tour de France, the last in Italy, should finally smile on the sprinters. Remco Evenepoel, if he finishes two places ahead of Tadej Pogacar, could be in yellow this evening.

14:25 – Another 120 kilometers

And still nothing happens in this very, very long stage of the Tour de France. The sprinters’ teammates set a tempo that seems to suit everyone.

2:20 p.m. – The little discussion in the peloton between de Lie and Coquard on the 8th in the Euro

The two runners delivered a very precise prediction for France’s round of 16 against Belgium.

14:14 – The sprint ranking

Here is the complete classification of the intermediate sprint:

14:04 – Pedersen wins intermediate sprint

Mads Pedersen takes the points in this intermediate sprint ahead of Philipsen and Coquard.

1:58 p.m. – 37.1 km/h average

The Tour de France peloton covered 36.9 kilometers in the second hour of the race, an average of 37.1 km/h since the start of the stage.

13:45 – Another 150 kilometers

The peloton is still going quite quickly on this day without a breakaway, with only 150 kilometers left to go to Turin.

13:42 – Jorgenson at the doctor level

The American from Visma, who fell yesterday on the second stage of the Tour de France, is next to the medical car to change his dressings.

13:32 – Points for Abrahamsen

The peloton has reached the top of the Tortona-Fausto Coppi climb and Jonas Abrahamsen takes this small point

13:16 – The peloton approaches the first difficulty

Slowly but surely, the peloton approaches Tortona. A 4th category climb of 1.1 km at 6.3%.

13:01 – The race average

The peloton has covered 37.3 km during the first hour of the race. Still no breakaway, the peloton train is led by the sprinters’ teammates.

12:50 – Ambitious coquard

“I feel good. It’s the Tour de France, with the best sprinters in the world. So we’re going to do our best,” said the Cofidis sprinter.

12:36 – Evenepoel can take yellow

To grab the first yellow jersey of his career, the Belgian must finish two places ahead of Tadej Pogacar without being beaten by eleven places by Jonas Vingegaard or fourteen places by Richard Carapaz. This adds a bit of spice to this stage, especially if the Slovenian seeks to get rid of this responsibility.

12:35 – Van Aert wants to sprint

“I will have Christophe Laporte by my side to take me. It is the shortest train in history, but Christophe is one of the best pitchers you can have,” explained the Belgian.

12:25 – A first on the Tour de France

This is the first time in 32 years that the first two straight stages have been won by breakaway riders. In 1992, Frenchman Dominique Arnould won the 1st stage. The next day, it was the Spaniard Javir Murguialday who won ahead of Richard Virenque.

12:23 – Still no escape

And we risk being like this for a long time while there are 200 kilometers left in this 3rd stage of the Tour de France.
