Stage 3, July 4 -- La Châtaigneraie - Tours
Again, another flat stage for the sprinters. As in yesterday's stage, a small breakway got away almost from the start. This one managed to stay away until roughly 3km from the end, when the sprinters' teams, getting organized on the front, swept them up. From here on, it was a textbook sprint, with Tom Boonen again coming around everyone else to win by a bike's length. Interestingly, Robbie McEwen, Austrailian sprinter badass, was relegated to last place in the stage because during the sprint he was practically shoving Stuart O'Grady, another Aussie sprinter badass. It was nasty to watch, and the referees didnt take to kindly to that. Whoops. Lance is still in second and Zabriskie is still in the yellow.
