Dumoulin wins third stage

NANTES (France): Samuel Dumoulin of France won the third stage of the Tour de France on Monday by leading a small group of sprinters to the finish.

French rider Romain Feillu was just beaten to the line and finished third, but has taken the race leader’s yellow jersey from Alejandro Valverde, who led since winning Saturday’s first stage.

“I have always dreamed of winning a stage,” Dumoulin said. “I have felt good since the start of the year.”

American rider William Frischkorn took second place.,

As the race headed into the last 1.6km, Dumoulin pulled ahead briefly but Feillu stuck to his wheel and overtook him. Dumoulin then had the better acceleration and went ahead again about 300 meters (yards) from the line, and Frischkorn just edged out Feillu. — AP
