Friday, June 20: Stage 3, Buchten - Buchten, 190.5 km

Stage 3 profile |

The Race: A quick note. I am following the organizer's stage numbering. Some sites are calling this stage two. This is logical, given that there has been a prologue followed by two stages. But, the official site and the timer call this stage three, so I will as well.

Lotto-Belisol leadout man Gregory Henderson surprised the bunch with a last-minute flyer to take the stage by several lengths.

Race leader Marcel Kittel was in the front group of thirty riders and thereby preserved his overall lead, currently five seconds over Gianni Meersman.
