TdF: Fabian Cancellara takes Stage 3! Wow!

By Yokota Fritz


2007 Tour de France Stage 3 AMAZING SPRINT FINISH! CSC's Fabian Cancellara hammered hard over the cobbles in the last kilometer of Stage 3 and won Stage 3 of the Tour de France, passing up some of the favorites in the peloton such as Robbie McEwen, Tom Boonen and Erik Zabel. That final sprint was amazing to watch as the Yellow Jersey took the lead and the rest of the pack tried to catch him but falling short at the finish line.

Tom Boonen retains the point leader green jersey, while Stephane Auge takes the polka dots as King of the Mountains. The Stage 3 results:

1 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Team CSC
2 Erik Zabel (Ger) Milram
3 Danilo Napolitano (Ita) Lampre-Fondital
4 Tom Boonen (Bel) Quickstep-Innergetic
5 Robert Hunter (RSA) Barloworld
6 Robert Förster (Ger) Gerolsteiner
7 Robbie McEwen (Aus) Predictor-Lotto
8 Bernhard Eisel (Aut) T-Mobile
