High mountain stages or long mileage routes are two maxims that the Italy spin strictly complies. In the third stage of this edition, in the absence of the first, we will have the second in what will be the first clear chance of victory for the sprint kings the day the Corsa Rosa bids farewell to Hungary.
Runners must complete 201 km flat, except for a small scoring ‘tack’ of 4th category that is crowned 13 km from the arrival, between the towns of Kaposvar and Balatonfüred, which leaves a clear outcome in the form of a massive volata.

AS Journal
One of the proper names that aimed to be a great favorite today was that of Caleb Evan, whose physical condition leaves some doubts due to the strong fall he suffered at the end of the first stage. Luckily he was left in a scare, small abrasions and no fractures, so Pocket Rocket could be in the mix. Mark Cavendish, Fernando Gaviria, Arnaud Démare, Giacomo Nizzolo, Phil Bauhaus, Biniam Girmay or Cees Bol, among others, they will also be serious candidates for victory.
