Gregor Mühlberger  (Bora-hansgrohe) put in a dominant ride to win stage 3a of the Sibiu Cycling Tour on Sunday morning, winning the 12.5km time trial ahead of Matteo Badilatti (Israel Start-Up Nation) and former yellow jersey Patrick Konrad (Bora-hansgrohe).

Mühlberger set a time of 26:11 over the course to also move into the leader's yellow jersey with just one stage remaining in the race. Mühlberger finished over a minute clear of Badilatti.

"For me it was a surprise, to be honest. More than a minute? Really? I think it suits me if it’s a bit steeper. I was looking for more information on the radio but I think that we had some problems. I’m okay though. The performance was pretty good, I’m happy with the result. To be honest I’m sorry for Patrick," Mühlberger said.
