Follow usThe third round was under drizzle that caused several crashes
Michael Matthews won the third stage of the Giro d’Italia on Monday. Matthews, who rides for Team Jayco–AlUla, edged out Mads Pedersen and Kaden Groves in a bunch sprint on the final kick up to the line.
The drizzle caused several crashes but nothing too serious for the cyclists. The pre-race favorite Remco Evenepoel slightly extended his overall lead after the stage.
Evenepoel has worn the pink jersey since storming to victory in the opening time trial on Saturday. Roglic, who is considered Evenepoel’s strongest challenger, moved up to third but was still 44 seconds behind the Belgian.
The Giro ends in Rome on May 28.
