Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 – Stage 3 [LAST 10 KM]

June 06, 2017

Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 – Stage 3 – Le Chambon-sur-Lignon – Tullins : 184 km

The 2017 Critérium du Dauphiné is a road cycling stage race that is scheduled to take place between 4 and 11 June. It will be the 69th edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné and will be the twenty-third event of the 2017 UCI World Tour.

Koen Bouwman (LottoNL-Jumbo) won stage 3 of the Critérium du Dauphiné in Tullins as the early break sprang a surprise and held off the chasing peloton in a tense finale. The Dutchman beat Edvaldas Siskevicius (Delko Marseille Provence) and Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) in the six-man sprint.

Bouwman began the day in the polka dot jersey of king of the mountains, having been part of the day-long break on stage 2, and he was on the offensive again early on Tuesday, jumping clear in the opening two kilometres with teammate Alexey Vermeulen, and Bryan Nauleau (Direct Energie), Backaert, and Delko Marseille Provence duo Quentin Pacher and Evaldas Siskevicius.

The sextet established a maximum lead of 6:45, but when Cofidis, FDJ and Katusha-Alpecin began the chase in earnest at the midway point, it seemed as though their effort would peter out. With 50 kilometres to go, their lead stood at 3 minutes. With 30 kilometres remaining, much of a twisting descent, their advantage was down to 2 minutes, but – somehow – the sprinters’ teams failed to dovetail their efforts thereafter.

Come the final kilometre, the break had a shade over 30 seconds in hand on the peloton, which was being led by FDJ.

Vermeulen led out the sprint, and Bouwman produced a fine effort to hold off Siskevicius for the win.

Arnaud Démare (FDJ) led home Bryan Coquard (Direct Energie) and the rest of the peloton, 11 seconds down on Bouwman, who claimed the first victory of his professional career.

Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) finished safely in the main peloton to retain the overall lead for another day. The Belgian carries an advantage of 48 seconds over Alex Domont (Ag2r La Mondiale) into Wednesday’s 23.5km individual time trial, where the general classification contenders will be expected to come to the fore.
