Aurélien Clerc (Mapei-Quick Step) won the third stage of the Vuelta a Cuba from Santiago de Cuba to Bayamo over 125 kilometres. The Swiss sprinter was the quickest of a small group of breakaway riders, with his teammate Graziano Gasparre finishing in second place.
The stage was marked by a strong cross-wind which helped to split the peloton. Mapei's Filippo Pozzato was quite active, and he spearheaded the final move. As a result, he and teammate Gian Paolo Cheula moved into third and second overall respectively behind race leader Pedro Perez, while Clerc and Gasparre capped off a good day for the team by taking the stage win.
Tomorrow's stage starts at Bayamo and finishes at Holguin and is 90 kilometres.
