TDU day 3 - Spoiler

[Keith Oates]

Will the hills in todays stage be enough to upset the sprint teams or will HTC still control the finish? The uphill finish could well make a difference and give some of the other good riders a chance to stand on top of the podium.

anybody got any live streams of this race?

Well the winner today was a surprise for me but the next two were not!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Manuel Cardoso (Por) Footon Servetto 3:14:38
2 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne 0:00:01
3 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing Team
4 Peter Sagan (Svk) Liquigas-Doimo
5 Mauro Finetto (Ita) Liquigas-Doimo
6 Michael Rogers (Aus) HTC-Columbia

However Andre Greipel is still ahead on GC so the interest is building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a great a win by Cardoso which totally blew away the plans of Caisse d'Epargne, who thought they were controlling the stage. Nice to see the TdU isn't all about the sprinters too...

Just watched the highlights on tv. Good win for cardoso.

Me too. Liggett and Sherwen must be getting paid by the number of times they mention Santo(?) the sponsor. It grates a bit and I think they mentioned it more than they did LA!

The highlights appear on the team sky website shortly after the highlights are broadcast on Sky. So stage 3 has been available since 20:00 on the 21st (ish)
