Heavy fall overshadows third stage of tour

Around 60 km from the finish, William Bonnet from the French FDJ team fell to the ground after touching a colleague's bike, triggering a chain reaction.

The race was neutralized following the incident, with the peloton coming to a standstill at 16.06:XNUMX p.m. Cancellara, who has to defend the "Maillot jaune" against German professional cyclist Tony Martin (Cottbus/Etixx-QuickStep), got back on his bike and returned to the standing field. After a ten-minute break, the entourage started moving again.

In the end, the Spanish Joaquim Rodriguez from Team Katjuscha secured the day's success. After 36 km from Antwerp, Belgium, to the legendary Huy Wall, the 159-year-old prevailed ahead of Froome and Alexis Vuillermoz (France/AG2R). Froome, for his part, took the lead in the overall standings. BMC captain and Manuel Quinziato's teammate Tejay Van Garderen is in third place there as of today.

Quinziato himself crossed the finish line 11,09 minutes behind and slipped to 115th place in the overall ranking.

The fourth stage of the tour takes the professional cyclists on Tuesday from Seraing to Cambrai (223,5 km).
