Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-QuickStep) beat Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) in a two-up sprint to stake stage 3 at the Deutschland Tour Saturday, while the Trek rider's runner-up finish 17 seconds ahead of a select chase group lifted him into the overall race lead.

Asgreen bridged to Stuyven after the Trek rider escaped the bunch over the Hohe Sonne climb, and the pair powered away to the finish over a 14-rider chase group that started coming apart before the line. Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida) led the chasers in for third place

“We made a plan today, followed it and did our job perfectly," Asgreen said. "We set out this morning with the goal of taking the victory, so we placed one rider in the front so we didn’t have to work in the pack, then we kept a hard pace in the last hour and especially on the climbs, before making the decisive move. Being able to deliver the win after such a fantastic team effort makes me very happy.”

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
