FollowStage 3 San Jose – Livermore 185.5km
Петер Сеган е захапал Калифорния. Здраво!
Вече трети пореден етап словакът печели победа и не слиза от почитната стълбичка, както като етапен победител, така и като водач в генералното класиране. А вероятно Хенрих Хауслер (Garmin-Barracuda) и щабът му вече се чудят как да противодействат на торпедото от Liquigas-Cannondale.
Австралиецът отново финишира втори през бялата линия.
На третата позиция този път се прокрадна и не кой да е, а Том Боонен (Omega Pharma-Quickstep). Неговите усилия спрямо зеления Сеган не дадоха резултат що се касае до етапното завоевание.
В генералното класиране нещата седят по следния начин:
Науслер заема второто място на 12″ от Сеган. Един от домакинските отбори е класирал в челната тройка свой войн – Jeffy Louder, следван на четвъртото място от друг американец Фред Родригес от Team Exergy и пето място отново за американец Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissel Cycling).

Peter Sagan bit at California. And bit hard!
That’s the third stage in a row he has taken and has no intention to get down from the podium as a stage and as overall winner. Heinrich Haussler and his Garmin-Barracuda squad already wondering how to counteract the Liquigas-Cannondale’s torpedo. The Australian sprinter again crossed second the finish line.
To the third place managed to sneak, none other than Toom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quickstep). His efforts to take the stage victory were ruin by the yellow coloured Sagan.
In the general classification Haussler is with 12 seconds down from Peter Sagan. Jeffy Louder, a warrior from one of the host teams, conquered the third place, and the fourth and fifth goes to another Americans – Fred Rodriguez (Team Exergy) and Ben Jacques-Maynes (Bissel Cycling).
