Aussie Takes Stage 3 Win In The Tour

Stage 3 of the Tour de France marked the last day of the Tour in Corsica. It was another stage with some medium climbs, but those climbs were not enough to keep the peloton at bat -- and the race finished in a sprint, being won by an Australian rider. Tomorrow the Tour returns to mainland France, with a team trial in Nice. Here are the winners of stage 3 and the overall standings:
