Luca Celli of Team LPR broke out of a 16-man strong escape group to win the third stage of the Rheinland-Pfalz Rudndfahrt, leaving Gerald Ciolek (T-Mobile) and Johan Coenen (Chocolade Jacques) to fight for second place behind. With his seven second advantage over the rest of the breakaway, Celli also took over the leader's jersey, and now leads Ciolek by one second.

"Yellow jersey and stage win, what more can you want?" said Celli, who moved up from place 63 in the GC. "I was in the leading group from the beginning and worked hard for this success."

The stage started off with a trio or riders getting away and staying away for all four mountain rankings. Afer the last one, the three were joined by thirteen other riders. WIth 20 km to go, Celli surprised everyone with his attack. He finished seven seconds ahead of the escape group, and the time bonus he earned was enought to give him the one second lead.

Previous leader Sergey Lagutin finished with the main peloton, 7'36 down.

Ciolek got a consolation prize for second place, an dtook over the Best Young Rider jersey. "I knew I had a chance for the yellow jersey," he said. "But you never know what might happen in the last kilometers."

Satrudays's fourth stage runs 188 km from Mainz to Bad Marienberg, and includes only two mountain rankings.
