Stage 3 - May 5: Mirandela-Mondim, 183 km

Another win for Pereira

Stage 3 of the GP Jornal Noticas, Mirandela to Mondim (183 km) saw a win to the Boavista squad, who have been improving steadily of late. Their champion was Delmino Pereira, who also won stage three of the Volta ao Alentejo last week.

The sprint came down to five riders, including two from the Maia-MSS squad (Azevedo and Møller), however Pereira was too experienced and managed to pull of the win. Euskaltel's Mikel Artetxe (Spain) managed to keep his hold on the leader's jersey, with two stages to go.
