Vuelta a España - Stage 3

Vuelta a España stage 3 takes the peloton from Gruissan to Font Romeu over 174 kilometres. After a largely flat opening half, the race heads into the Pyrenees for a demanding finale, with the 19.4 kilometre Col de Mont Louis followed by a 9.8 kilometre climb to the finish at Font Romeu. The long, steady gradients should provide the first real test for the general classification contenders. Follow the stage with our live timing and chat with other cycling fans from the start at 13:21 CEST, with the finish expected around 17:18 CEST.
