CHENNAI: Jonathan Cassido won Girod Italia’s Stage 3 … but it was half the story of Garrett Thomas and Simon Yates enduring frustrating days.
Thomas crashed into the neutral zone and lost a great deal of time to rule himself out of the overall argument, while Yates struggled on Mount Etna Chai so he needed a major recovery in the remaining 18 stages.
Garrett Thomas Giroud is far from Italy’s argument when Simon Yates lost four minutes and twenty-two seconds on a fateful day for the British riders in Stage 3 of the Italian Grand Tour. Thomas finished about 11 minutes from the group of GC leaders, who took a minute down on the stage winner.
It was a brilliant stage for EF Pro cycling, heading for something other than their outstanding kit, as Jonathan Cassido broke down to win at the summit of Mount Ato. When he got on the road he made a lot of effort to get into the early crash and was helped to the crisp part of the stage by teammate Law Law San Craddock. When the cradle was finally filled, Cicido made a connection with Giovanni Visconti (Vinizabu) and was strong enough to leave the Italian rider halfway up the climb.
Kiced Sido finished 10 seconds ahead of Visconti’s chase, with Lotto Sodal’s Harm Vanhauq in third place. Wilcokelderman finished fourth, the best place among pre-race GC optimists.

Joao Almida (Disunink-Quick-Step), assumes a straightforward residency, at the same time Cassido.
On a day that no one would have predicted for sure, the facade of Inios Grenadiers was enormously obscured. The British team started the day with a pink jersey and an overall favorite, although the horrific fortunes that have obscured their season since the resumption in August saw their leader Thomas break into the neutral zone at the start of the phase.
As he moved, the race resumed and, despite covering about 110 kilometers in the pack, he suffered serious injuries as soon as he reached the lower slopes of Atona, so that he could be rendered powerless. As he made his way to the volcano, he cut out a desensolate figure, drawn by Inios support riders, including Mangliarosa Filippo Gunna. In a single climb they lost the lead of the race and their best chance of winning overall.
It took a while for the yachts to break down. After placing his team in front of the peloton for many of the open kilometers of the stage, he drove to G.C. Lost 8.7km contact with favorites. So far, there has been no statement from Yates or his team as to why he could not be caught, but the loss of time is almost fatal to his general classification purposes.
Diego Ulissi leads the classification of Cassido climbers after securing points to win the mountain top finish, retaining the jersey of the Siclemino points won yesterday.
