- Australian Lotto-Soudal rider prevails in bunch sprint
- French rider Julian Alaphilippe stays in overall lead
The Tour de France peloton left the French Riviera behind and turned towards this year’s first Alpine stages, with Caleb Ewan of Australia taking the fourth stage win of his career in stage three to Sisteron, at the foot of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
In a virtuoso sprint, reminiscent of Mark Cavendish at his best, the diminutive 26-year-old rider slalomed deftly past his rivals, to pip Ireland’s Sam Bennett on the finish line.
