[Eyeballs Out]

Good racing at the end of stage 3. Covi, Lopez, Eiking and Fabbro looked the strongest on the final climb

 

[Eyeballs Out]

They were caught and then countered by Simmons and Dewulf who have a good gap with a km left

 

[RedheadDane]

Simmons wins.
Proceeds to start tossing Lopez around... for some reason...

 

[Carols]

And it's Simmons in his first Pro Win!!! Chapeau USA and Trek!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yes, one for the bad guys!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Simmons led it out and powered away from Dewulf on the drag finish

 

[TourOfSardinia]

And it's Simmons in his first Pro Win!!! Chapeau USA and Trek!

 

[Big Doopie]

...ugh...

 

[will-10]

Simmons winning the day after Jakobsen is very 2021.

 

[SafeBet]

This stage was great fun. Final 30 kms ridden full gas with attack after attack. Kudos to Trek for trying many times, they've been a very attacking team this year. Simmons still racing on instincts more than brain, but it worked this time.

GC

Echelons!
Simmons caught behind.

Do you know if there are other crosswind sections coming up? Otherwise it shouldn’t be difficult for Trek to close that gap.

They already did. Pretty sure the group that's away now got away in a different manner.

 

[Sciatic]

I see. thanks, just tuned in.

 

[RedheadDane]

Cerny.
1: Pretty much singlehandedly brings the break back.
2: Counter-attacks from the peloton.

 

[RedheadDane]

Groenewegen again.
Ahead of Nizzolo and... I don't know more.

 

[SafeBet]

Gaviria third.

 

[Bolder]

Strong finishing kick from Groenewegen. That climb toward the end left at least one rider walking...

 

[F_Cance]

Simmons' sprint was impressive. Almost 100m earlier in the wind than the three guys on the podium to get in position and finished 4th.

 

[Sciatic]

Strong finishing kick from Groenewegen. That climb toward the end left at least one rider walking...

He looked like me on a climb—totally gassed!

 

[yaco]

Groenewegen is coming into form. Will Jumbo take him to the Vuelta?
