Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) has won the 3rd stage of the 59th edition of the Tirreno-Adriatico Crédit Agricole, the 225 km long Volterra-Gualdo Tadino, ahead of Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and Kévin Vaquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels).
Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) retains the Maglia Azzurra.
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Phil Bauhaus said: “To be honest I thought today’s stage was too hard for me but the team believed in me and motivated me from yesterday and put me in a perfect position for sprinting for the win with 1km to go. I was very focused. I’m happy that I managed to keep my power till the line. I’d like to also win the last stage on Sunday like two years ago but we have to be realistic, the level of sprinters is very high here”.
