will the sprinters have the last word? Follow the third step

The day after the sprint victory of Jonathan Milan (Bahrain-Victorious) in a final marked by a fall, the third stage of the Giro 2023, Monday May 8, offers a long course of 213 km between Vasto and Melfi. Unlike the day before, the final will be more tortuous and should reward a strong runner. Unless the sprinters want to capitalize on the start of this 106th edition of the Tour of Italy before the stage profiles then favor the climbers and favorites in the general classification.

In this game, Remco Evenepoel wears the pink jersey for the second consecutive day before, perhaps, letting it go voluntarily so as not to have to control the race. In any case, this is the objective he had set himself before the start of the Giro, which he is competing for the second time in his career.
