GONO Marcel AUS GAN 55.54 Brief Festina rider Laurent Dufaux from Switzerland attacked in the final stages of the last climb to win Stage 3 and retain the GC leader's green jersey. He won the jersey in the prologue and has defended it strongly since. The attack came only 2 kms out from the line and he easily dropped his 8 breakaway companions. The only rider who tried to stay with Dufaux was Saeco's Ivan Gotti. He gave up as Dufaux was too strong. The Swiss rider passed the mountain top 10 seconds ahead of Francesco Casagrande (Cofidis) and 22 seconds ahead of Davide Rebellin (Polti). The weather was very warm during the stage and Dufaux sat on the wheel of his teammate and fellow Swiss rider Alex Zulle. Dufaux said after the win that: "I saw that my adversaries were tired and I decided to take the offensive. I think today I delivered the perfect race, I feel practically unbeatable. I think now the hardest part is done." |
