Tour Down Under: Stage 3 highlights - Video

Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) became the third different winner of this year’s Santos Tour Down Under with victory in Victor Habor on stage 3. The Italian took a clear sprint win, beating Phil Bauhaus (Team Sunweb) and race leader Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott).

Mitchelton-Scott took control of the peloton in the final kilometres, but a slight hesitation from Ewan gave others an opportunity. Viviani didn’t have to be asked twice and, after being set up perfectly by his own Quick-Step Floors teammates, there was little anyone could do to stop him from notching up his first win of the 2018 season.

Ewan still has a 10-second advantage over Viviani in the overall classification but that is likely to change when the race heads out into the hills for stage 4.
