The Eritrean has been so close so many times, but this is his stage win in the Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been dreaming of being part of the Tour de France \u2014 but now, I can\u2019t believe it, to win at the Tour in my second year \u2026 for me it is unbelievable,\u201d Girmay said at the finish. \u201cI want to thank my family, my wife, all the Eritreans and Africans. We must be proud. We are now really part of the big races. It\u2019s our moment, our time. I just want to congratulate my whole team, because we didn\u2019t have a victory yet [in the Tour de France]. But now is our moment.”<\/p>\n<h3>Casual Start<\/h3>\n<p>As we joined the live TV coverage, the peloton was winding along on their last stage in Italy, all together for the time. There were some earlier attacks, but all was calm at the moment. The average speed over the first three hours of the stage have been 39km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>While a generally flat stage, today’s route marks the longest stage of this year\u2019s Tour, covering 230.8 km on the way from Plaisance to Turin, where the sprinters are expected to do battle at the finish. There are three categorized climbs en route to Turin – easy enough for the sprinters to manage – before the wide, flat roads of the final kilometers that will give the leadout trains plenty of room to work.<\/p>\n<h3>Cavendish Watch<\/h3>\n<p>Mark Cavendish was again all smiles this morning. He’s taking his 213th stage start, and of course going for the all-time stage win record today.<\/p>\n<p>“Even if we hadn’t had a couple of hard days, it normally takes me a couple of sprints to get into it,” Cavendish said before the day’s start. “There’s better opportunities than today. But we go all in for it and see what happens. We’re one man down, so that puts us at a kind of disadvantage, to want to use guys up to pull. So we’ll see how the race unfolds. We still have a couple of kickers. The last one comes with 50km to go, 3km climb. Hopefully we don’t get a team go full gas over that. But it’s the Tour de France, anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In birthday news, it’s the 25th birthday of Matteo Jorgensen and the 121st anniversary of the first ever Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>The first intermediate sprint came at km 94.3, and it was Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) cranking it up to 75km\/h to take the first sprint points of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Though there was 73km still remaining, the young guns of the sprinter world were already making themselves known at the front of the peloton, notably the leadout men for Jasper Philipsen and Mads Pedersen.<\/p>\n<h3>Greiller Attacks<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107993\" style=\"width: 678px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240701TDF1078-A.S.O.-Charly-Lopez.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"107993\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/2024\/07\/01\/2024-tour-de-france-stage-3-results\/20240701tdf1078-a-s-o-charly-lopez\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240701TDF1078-A.S.O.-Charly-Lopez.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"4","credit":"A.S.O.\\\/Charly Lopez","camera":"NIKON Z 9","caption":"01\\\/07\\\/2024 - Tour de France 2024 - \\u00c9tape 3 - Plaisance \\\/ Turin (230,8 km) - GRELLIER Fabien (TOTALENERGIES)","created_timestamp":"1719851195","copyright":"A.S.O.\\\/Charly Lopez","focal_length":"200","iso":"400","shutter_speed":"0.0003125","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"20240701TDF1078-A.S.O.

There were many nerves and we had to be very well positioned. There were many risks like crashing and the team did such an amazing job where they left me at one kilometer to go and from there I could defend myself as well as I could, and then Marijn and I just went full into the finish line. It was spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>“I worked so hard for this moment. It also means a lot to my country. There are not a lot of us in the WorldTour and I hope this helps cycling so it can grow in my country,” he added. Tomorrow is a very hard day.
