Stage 3

The road

How it was won

1. 135 km to go

   Sky gut the peloton

   On the long Coll de la Rabassa, Sky’s ferocious tempo shreds the field and reels in the breakaway, shedding riders out the back.

2. 215 km to go

   Contador cracks on day three

   Caught out by Sky’s early surge, Alberto Contador loses contact and never returns, conceding 2:33 and, in his farewell race, ending his overall hopes almost before they began.

3. 311 km to go

   Froome and Chaves fly

   On the final climb of the Alto de la Comella, Froome and Chaves ride clear while Nibali briefly slips into trouble near the top.

4. 45 km to go

   Daredevil descending

   Aru and Bardet take huge risks on the drop off the Comella to rejoin Froome and Chaves for the run to the line.

5. 5At the line

   Nibali wins in Andorra

   Vincenzo Nibali times his jump perfectly inside the final kilometre to win in Andorra la Vella, while Froome’s bonus seconds move him into the red jersey.
