Sibiu Cycling Tour 2023 – Stage 3 – Brezoi – Păltiniș : 202 km
The Sibiu Cycling Tour (Cycling Tour of Sibiu until 2015) is a 2.1 category professional bicycle road race held in Sibiu, Romania. Its first edition took place in July 2011, as part of the UCI Europe Tour. The race is organised with the support of the local council as well as the regional council of Sibiu. Held entirely around the city, the race normally runs over four days including a prologue on the cobbled streets of the city, and two climbing stages, one on the Transfăgărăşan Road to Bâlea Lac and a second to the mountain resort of Păltiniș.
Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) won stage 3 at the Sibiu Cycling Tour, crossing the line alone after breaking away from the field on the road into Păltiniș.
Schachmann crested the top of the 10km climb to the finish line with 18 seconds in hand, as runner-up Jakub Otruba (ATT Investments) led in the eight-rider chase behind ahead of third-placed Filippo Fiorelli (Green Project-Bardiani).
Stage 3 was a 202km race from Brezoi to Păltiniș that included four categorised climbs and a final 10km ascent to the finish line.
The previous day’s stage winner Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny) went into the third day of racing in the overall race lead with 28 seconds over runner-up Matteo Badilatti (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team).
However, an untimely flat tyre cost Van Eetvelt his leading position in the general classification after he punctured in the closing kilometres of the stage into Păltiniș.
“Incredible bad luck for Lennert Van Eetvelt, he had a puncture in the last 2km and lost the Yellow Jersey!” his team confirmed in a post on social media following the race.
