Stage 3 - Monday, May 8: Perwez - Namur, 202 km

A stage with that classics feeling, with the Cotes d'Ahin from Fleche Wallonne with 50km to go and a tough cobbled climb from the Meuse River up the last 2km up to Namur's famous Fortress make Stage 3 decidedly not for the sprinters. Look out for Olympic champ Bettini on this challenging finish.
