Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) moved one step nearer to 100 profession victories on Friday, timing his remaining dash to perfection to win stage 3 of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista del Sol. The veteran Norwegian has now gained 97 races in his profession.
It appeared as if Ineos Grenadiers’ Ben Turner is perhaps the person along with his fingers within the air in Pozoblanco, because the Brit launched a long-range effort 300 metres from the end line, however Kristoff got here by way of on the final second to grab victory on the road, and forestall a 3rd Ineos celebration this week.
Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) and Maxim Van Gils (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) battled for the ultimate podium spot, with Van Gils pipping Pidcock into third.
Despite extra bonus seconds on supply through the stage on the ‘golden kilometre,’ there was no change within the prime three positions on the final classification, led by Pavel Sivakov (UAE Team Emirates-XRG). Pidcock moved a number of seconds nearer to second-placed Clement Berthet (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale).
