Stage 3 of the Tour of Spain It ended with an exciting sprint that the Belgian took Wout van Aert, who, dressed in red as the leader of the race, ended a two-year streak without winning a stage and got rid of the frustration that had been weighing him down.
According to the criteria of
The Belgian rider, making his debut in the Vuelta, increased his lead in the general classification after gaining a few seconds in a stage 3 that was very intense due to the strong sun that beat down on the peloton during the 191.2 kilometers between the Portuguese towns of Lousa and Castelo Blanco.
The Colombian riders never left the pack and stayed together until the finish line. The best of our riders on the day was Daniel Felipe Martinez (Bora) who reached the finish line in 36th place and with the same group as the peloton.
Brandon Rivera He also showed himself to be very strong in the final kilometres and finished in the top-50 of stage 3, being a key rider in the aspirations of Ineos, who was unable to fight for the victory of the stage.
Harold Tejada He remains the best Colombian in the standings after finishing the stage with the peloton. The Colombian, like the vast majority of riders, lost 10 seconds in the standings compared to van Aert.
