Aru wins Dauphiné stage 3 with surprise attack

Fabio Aru served up a surprise Wednesday on a Dauphiné stage that most expected would favor sprinters. Instead, Astana’s GC leader attacked a nine-man break, which rode clear on a category 2 climb about 21km out from the finish in Tournon-Sur Rhône, France. He fended off a chasing peloton, using a technical downhill late in stage 3 to stretch his lead just enough to win.

“It’s a new experience for me to win in this way,” said Aru. “I wanted to try something, but I didn’t think I’d win.”

Katusha’s Alexander Kristoff was second, sprinting out of the peloton ahead of Trek – Segafredo’s Niccolo Bonifazio. Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) kept the overall lead.

Etixx – Quick-Step’s Tony Martin attacked into the last of the day’s three categorized climbs. At first, he looked to be engaging his time trial skills to ride alone to the finish. Aru chased after the German on the 3km final climb, which had an average 8.2 percent gradient, around 20km from the finish. The Sardinian then confidently broke off on his own for a daring solo bid for victory.

Aru, 25, rode alone for a full 13km after cresting the last climb with a slender 10-second lead and needed all the resilience he could conjure to hold off the sprinters.

At first, it seemed impossible for Aru to stay away. He was often in sight, but the peloton wasn’t organized enough. The Italian stretched his lead on a technical descent inside the final five kilometers. With two kilometers to race, Aru had 11 seconds’ advantage.

GC leader Alberto Contador had a scare in the finale, requiring a bike change, but he was able to chase back to the peloton astride Roman Kreuziger’s bike.

Aru put his head down and drove to the line. The peloton had him in sight, but there wasn’t enough road left to bring him back. Kristoff sprinted to second place, frustrated by the unsuccessful chase.

“He’s a very consistent Tour rider and a potential Tour de France winner. He’s a winner, I’ll need to keep close tabs on him. He’s one to watch too, a lovely rider who creates excitement, and cycling needs that,” Contador said.

On Thursday, the sprinters may get a chance at redemption with a 176km race from Tain-l to Belley, a route that only includes two category four climbs.
