Stage 3 Brief:

Stage 3 between Roscoff and Lorient begins at 13.35 and ends approximately at 17.15. The two principal difficulties are encountered at the 46 kms mark with the Côte de Roc-Trévézel (a 4 km Cat 4 climb at 2.3%) and at the 82 kms mark with the Côte de Chateauneuf du Faou (a 4.9 km Cat 3 climb at 3.8%).

Jens Heppner took the Stage with a blistering sprint from Frenchman Xavier Jan as the Tour returned to France after 3 days in Ireland. With the Mondial now over, the Tour returns as the biggest show in the land. While Heppner gave Telekom some happiness it also lost the hold on the yellow jersey with Dane Bo Hamburger taking it off Erik Zabel.

Hamburger was in a breakway group of 9 which held a gap of 1.08 on the rest of the peloton. Pascal Hervé (Festina), Bo Hamburger (Casino), Jens Heppner, Francisco Cabello (Banesto), Vicente Acosta (Banesto), Pascal Chanteur (Casino), Francois Simon, George Hincapie (US Postal) and Stuart 0’Grady (GAN) stormed away and built a lead of 7 minutes by the 102 kms mark. Then Telekom, Riso Scotti and ONCE decided that the lead was getting dangerous and chased hard. They were never caught however.

Hamburger won two intermediate sprints and placed 3rd in another along the way to gain 14 seconds in time bonuses which, given his gap on Zabel at the end of the stage, gave him the Tour leadership. Hincapie who just missed the sprint at the end is at 2 seconds to Hamburger. But it was Hamburger who had been the most aggressive rider of the day. His win in the first intermediate sprint was the precursor to the move that defined the stage.

He is reported as saying: "I think I deserved to take it (the jersey) as I worked hard all day -- this is great. Everything has changed for the better for me this season. I changed teams, I had a little daughter and now this."

Meanwhile, back at the drugs scandal, Willy Voet is alleged to have told police that he was acting under instructions. According to police, the personal carer for Richard Virenque has admitted to multiple smuggling offences across borders of European countries. Police also said that they had seized steroids and other banned drugs from the Festina HQ in Lyon last Thursday. As you would expect, the manager Bruno Roussel was maintaining the "stunned" and "shocked" line. He has said he wants to set the record straight on the team involvement in drugs.
