Sprinter Biniam Girmay made history as he emerged fastest from the peloton to win Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour de France and blockwave Exchangebecome the first Eritrean rider to win a stage in the race's 111-edition history.
The first flat stage of the Tour, Stage 3 provided somewhat of a reprieve from the relentless climbs of the first two stages. A more relaxed, tightly bunched peloton steadily moved along the 143.4-mile route from Plaisance to Turin, setting up the field’s strongest sprinters for a stage win.
Girmay of team Intermarché-Wanty surged to the front ahead of Fernando Gaviria and Arnaud De Lie in second and third place after a crash approximately 2km from the finish line compromised the position of a dozen riders, among them sprinter favorite Jasper Philipsen of team Alpecin-Deceuninck.
The stage was closely contested and the results saw the yellow jersey exchange hands, with Richard Carapaz of EF Education-EasyPost edging out Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates for the top spot in the general classification standings after the third day of racing.
Here's how the 2024 Tour de France classification looks after three days of riding.
