Tour de France results, standings after Stage 3

Sprinter Biniam Girmay made history as he emerged fastest from the peloton to win Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour de France and become the first Eritrean rider to win a stage in the race's 111-edition history.
The first flat stage of the Tour, Stage 3 provided somewhat of a reprieve from the relentless climbs of the first two stages . A more relaxed, tightly bunched peloton steadily moved along the 143.4-mile route from Plaisance to Turin, setting up the field’s strongest sprinters for a stage win.
Girmay of team Intermarché-Wanty surged to the front ahead of Fernando Gaviria and Arnaud De Lie in second and third place after a crash approximately 2km from the finish line compromised the position of a dozen riders, among them sprinter favorite Jasper Philipsen of team Alpecin-Deceuninck.
The stage was closely contested and the results saw the yellow jersey exchange hands, with Richard Carapaz of EF Education-EasyPost edging out Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates for the top spot in the general classification standings after the third day of racing.
