The Centurion Vaude team of Markus Kaufmann and Jochen Kaess made it three stages in three days by winning in Andujar on Tuesday in a time of 3:08:15. One second later, Spaniards Alejandro Díaz de la Pena and Pedro Romero crossed the finish line for second place. The stage ended with a sprint like on day 1, but with different riders involved.

Díaz de la Peña noted that he and his teammate "had lots of options today", but they couldn't clinch the stage victory because "Germans are stronger".

Topeak Ergon's Robert Mennen and Kristian Hynek were third; while the Polish JBG finished in fourth place.

Among the women, Polar Racing Team's Sandra Santanyes and Claudia Galicia also got their effort rewarded with a stage victory, which had eluded them thus far. However, Anna Villar and Mercé Pacios retained the overall women's lead after finishing second on the day.

Milena Landtwing and Philipp Gerber continue as mixed team leaders.

Wednesday's stage 4 will head into Cordoba's territory. The stages will get longer, but have less climbing. Both the start and finish of stage 4 will be in the Rabanales University in Cordoba.

680 racers remain in the race from a total of 716.
