TOUR OF HAINAN: THIRD TOP 10 FOR RAFAEL ANDRIATO

Third mass sprint and third placement in the top 10 for Rafael Andriato that loses his yellow jersey for only 6” but remains in 2nd place.

The script of the stage has been similar to the previous ones with the team that chased all day the breakaway that has been brought back with only 12 kms to go.

The wideness of the road in the last km, that was 6% steep, made possible for a lot of riders to fight for the win with the german Walscheid who was the fastest one while Andriato ended in 6th place after a good comeback.

Tomorrow 4th stage that will most likely end with a 4th mass sprint in Danzhou.
