Stage 3 - August 17: Ensisheim - Grand Ballon, 127km
Australian Team Report
By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 Manager
Today's stage of the Transalsace was the toughest of the tour with two cat 2 climbs followed by two cat 1 climbs finishing at the Grand Ballon in the Alsace Mountains. The Australian team didn't fair that well with our best being Rory Sutherland who was in the front group until the last kilometre of the penultimate climb before he cracked and lost contact and struggled home in about 32nd place.
The stage was won in fine style by Peter Weening from the Rabobank team with 3'44" to the next rider. Dave McPartland finished outside the time limit with another 5 riders and won't start tomorrow.
