(Tour de France 2009 - Stage 3)

Briton Mark Cavendish won the third stage of the Tour de France as seven-times champion Lance Armstrong climbed up to third overall in the standings at La Grande Motte. Cavendish, who also won the stage on Sunday, outsprinted Norway’s Thor Hushovd after a 196.5km trek from Marseille with France’s Cyril Lemoine coming home third. Swiss Fabian Cancellara of the Saxo Bank team retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey and now leads German Tony Martin and American Armstrong by 33 and 40 seconds respectively.

Tour, terza tappa: a 30 km dall’arrivo attacco della Columbia che spacca il gruppo, poi Mark Cavendish domina la volata. Armstrong e la maglia gialla Cancellara guadagnano 41” su Contador e gli altri big di classifica, che pagano cara la disattenzione.
