Nippo udnyttede ikke sandwich - De Negri vandt

Vini Fantini - Selle Italia og Lampre-Merida, de to store hold i Tour of Japan, måtte i går se sig slået af det lille KSPO mandskab. Men i dag fik førstnævnte hold taget revanche, da Pierpaolo de Negri kom først over målstregen på tredje etape af etapeløbet, der i dag bevægede sig ind i et noget mere kuperet terræn.

148 kilometer ventede rytterne, der både skulle starte og slutte i Minami-Shinshu, i dag. 12 omgange på en stor rundstrækning skulle køres, og den rundstrækning indeholdt en ganske hård stigning, der fik sendt rytterne op i over 500 meters højde. Tidsforskelle var derfor forventet, og sådan endte det også.

Tre mand skilte sig ud, Pierpaolo de Negri, Fortunato Baliani (Team Nippo - De Rosa) og Julian David Arredondo (Team Nippo - De Rosa). De Negri var dermed fanget i en Team Nippo - De Rosa sandwich, men det forhindrede ham ikke at i at løbe med etapesejren, mens de to holdkammerater måtte tage til takke med anden og tredjepladsen.

En mindre gruppe kom i mål 20 sekunder efter, mens to andre kom i mål 44 sekunder efter. Alle andre tabte over tre minutter. Dermed er der også store ændringer i klassementet, hvor Julian David Arredondo nu fører med to sekunder ned til Fortunato Baliani og 24 sekunder ned til Darren Lapthorne (Drapac Cycling).

I morgen venter en bjergetape.
