As could be expected, Nacer Bouhanni mainly sought to limit damage this Saturday during the third stage of the 6th Tour de la Provence (2.Pro). A levee that started from Istres to arrive at Mont Ventoux after 154 km. In this final for punchers and climbers, the Vosgien d’Arkéa-Samsic stuck in a first gruppetto to reach the finish in 99th position 15 ‘behind the winner, the Colombian Ivan Sosa (Ineos Grenadiers). He will nevertheless have the opportunity to recover this Sunday during an epilogue promised to the sprinters leading from Avignon to Salon-de-Provence in 163 km.
Rankings. The step: 1. I. Saso (Ineos) 4:08:14; 99. N. Bouhanni (Arkéa-Samsic) at 15’12. The general : 1. I. Saso 13h13’16; 88. N. Bouhanni at 17’11.
