Elia Viviani makes it two in a row!

Weather at the finish city of Eilat at 3:10 PM, local time: 33C (92F), fair, with the wind from the north at 24 km/hr (15 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: 175 riders began stage three at 12:42 PM.

Here's the organizer's report:

The Italian rider Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) won in a bunch sprint Stage 3 of the 101st Giro d’Italia, Be’er Sheva-Eilat of 229km to take his second consecutive stage victory. Sacha Modolo (Team EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale) and Sam Bennett (Bora – Hansgrohe) finished second and third respectively.

Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing Team) remains the race General Classification leader, wearing the Maglia Rosa.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Viviani said: “In the first two hours of racing I felt very bad. The pressure was off after yesterday’s win. But I felt better later on. I have competed in the classics so I was ready for 230km today. We followed our plan. We only missed Sabatini because he had a flat tyre. But the final straight was good for me.”

The race leader Dennis said: “It feels good to retain the Maglia Rosa. It’s been a stressful day though. In the end, it’s been a maximum effort to stay out of trouble and away from the splits. Campenaerts paid the price for his efforts to take the jersey but he did well. In Sicily, I’ll take it day by day and try to stay in pink as long as possible.”

Here's the report from stage winner Elia Viviani's Quick-Step team:

Elia Viviani delivered the 77th Grand Tour win in the history of Quick-Step Floors and extended his lead in the points classification, making it a perfect opening weekend for our team at the 101st Giro d'Italia. Elia, who is riding the Corsa Rosa for the fifth time in his career, was again head and shoulders over the other sprinters, after being expertly piloted into the last kilometer of stage 3 by his teammates, for which he was full of praise.

"We stayed together in this crazy final and did a great job. The guys were incredible today and this victory is for them. We couldn't have asked for more from these first stages of the race and now we are going to Italy with a big smile on our face", Elia said immediately after the finish in Eilat.

Three men – Enrico Barbin, Guillaume Boivin and Marco Frapporti – set out soon after the start and were allowed by the peloton to open a six-minute advantage just ten kilometers into the stage. The trio fought for the intermediate sprints and the day's sole categorized climb, while from behind, escorted by his Quick-Step Floors teammates, Elia Viviani bagged more points to extend his lead in the cyclamen jersey classification.

As the 229km stage, one of the longest of this edition, continued to take the bunch through the desert, second-year pro Rémi Cavagna moved to the front of the bunch, taking the reins and setting a fierce pace behind the escapees, who were reeled in some seven kilometers from the finish located in the Red Sea resort.

Czech Champion Zdenek Stybar and white jersey Maximilian Schachmann put the hammer down with five kilometers to go, their huge tempo resulting in a strung out bunch. Elia Viviani remained at all times in the top ten and not even a late puncture of trusted lead-out man Fabio Sabatini could stop him from taking part in the bunch sprint, where despite being squeezed by Sam Bennett (Bora-hansgrohe), he kept his composure and found the space needed to get past the Irishman, punching the air as he outsprinted countryman Sacha Modolo (EF Education First).
