Stage 3 - August 25: Niort - La Roche Posay, 182 km

Austrian show off

Four riders established a gap after just 15 kilometres, including fourth overall Sylvain Chavanel (Bonjour), Stéphane Berges (BigMat), Artour Babaitsev (Nürnberger) and Christophe Moreau (Festina). They had at most two minutes but a lack of cooperation doomed their escape.

At 60 km, 24 riders from 13 teams went off and this proved to be the decisive escape. The only major team absent was Ag2R. Of the best placed riders overall, only Peter Wrolich (Gerolsteiner) and Floyd Landis (Mercury) were in the group. Wrolich was the strongest in the intermediate sprints and gained enough bonification seconds to take the lead in the race ahead of Landis.

During the last 15 kilometres a trio, Tessier (Francaise des Jeux), Morscher (Nurnberger) and Plouhinec (Jean Delatour) managed to get a gap to the others in the front group. Wrolich's Austrian compatriot Harald Morscher eventually won the stage ahead of Tessier and Plouhinec half a minute ahead of another Austrian, Jochen Summer (Phonak), and one minute ahead of the other escapees. A handful of riders then rolled in at intervals before the peloton arrived more than half an hour after the winner.
