Race Report, Stage 3
Waregem – Compiègne, 236 km

Contador finished Stage 3 today without incident. The stage ended more than an hour later than expected, due to a creeping pace kept by the peloton.

“It’s been a boring stage,” Contador admitted. “The tempo was only lifted in the last 40 km.”

Alberto is satisfied with how the race is developing. “You can see that we’re all thinking about the same thing—avoiding crashes and getting to the mountains in good shape. Now is a time when guys who are looking for breakaways and stage wins can go to work.”

Still, typical Tour de France nerves are a factor inside the peloton. “Honestly, there is a lot of tension, but the difference I notice this year is that I’m protected by the team, and this is very important. Noval is always looking after me, and that makes you feel really good.”

“The legs are responding, so my feeling this year is less tense than in my first Tour.”

Alberto’s results:

(Nearly all the pack clocked in with the same time as winner Cancellara. However, with the win, Cancellara got a 20” time bonus.)

Stage 3        56th
Young rider    13th

GC        18th      0.55”
Young rider    5th    0.10”
