Day 3: Tour of Britain

Ian Stannard soloed to a memorable stage victory in the beautiful surrounds of Tatton Park on the outskirts of Knutsford, as huge crowds lined the route of the first every Cheshire East stage of the Tour of Britain.

The Team Sky man won by nearly two-minutes from breakaway companions Graham Briggs and Kristian House, to lead a British 1-2-3 at the end of the 180-kilometre stage from Congleton, with the peloton racing in over five and a half minutes down.

Graham Briggs wins the sprint for second

Overnight leader Julien Vermote retained the Yellow Jersey presented by Eisberg and his six second lead over Steve Cummings, with the other main General Classification positions remaining unchanged.

Speaking afterwards, Stannard, who lives locally to the Stage Three route in Wilmslow said; “It’s a pretty big day for me. I was motivated for this stage because it was pretty much on home roads.

“I was keen to get away. It’s always nice to win from a breakaway and go solo too. I really enjoyed it today. I knew I want to go over the top of the Cat and Fiddle with about five minutes on the peloton, we’d have a chance on the run-in then. I heard it went out but I didn’t know much more. I was just happy to be up there. ”

In yellow still, Vermote. He said afterwards “I’m still leading the general classification and I owe this to our strong team. The guys did a fantastic job and I have to thank them for bringing me safe home. It was a hard parcours, but we took it easy, because the riders in the escape were a long way down in the standings”.

“I enjoyed this day. Not only wearing yellow was great, but also having all these incredible fans cheering us from start to finish. Concerning tomorrow, it’s difficult to say what will happen in that long and challenging stage, but what’s certain is that we will try to defend the jersey.”

After being waved away in front of the biggest crowds of the week so far in the historic market town of Congleton, it was Matt Cronshaw of Madison Genesis who lit the race up, attacking as soon as the race was de-neutralised on the outskirts of town, taking Briggs, House and Stannard with him.

The break was down to three by the time it reached the second SKODA King of the Mountains climb of the Brickworks, with Cronshaw distanced and eventually swept up on the day’s final categorised climb of the Cat & Fiddle.

Over the top of that climb as the route navigated a series of false flats across the moors of the Peak District National Park Stannard went away, casting Briggs and House adrift to then contest their own race for second.

Stannard was long since finished and celebrating with family and his team as Briggs and Middlewich resident House fought out the battle for second, Briggs staying on the ONE Pro Cycling man’s wheel to come around House in the final metres for the runner-up spot.

Bardiani CSF’s Nicola Ruffoni led in the peloton for fourth, outsprinting Danny Van Poppel and Ramon Sinkeldam, who pulled on the Chain Reaction Cycles Points Jersey.

Andre Greipel retains the Yodel Sprints jersey going into Stage Four in Wales, while Xandro Meurisse keeps the SKODA King of the Mountains jersey for a further day. The Belgian enjoyed a day long tussle with Nicolas Roche for the remaining points at each of the three climbs, but only managed to extend his hold on the jersey by a solitary point.

Stage Four is the longest of the 2016 Tour of Britain, weighing in at 218-kilometres from Denbigh to Builth Wells, and also including 4,000-metres of ascent as the route wends its way south through Mid-Wales to the finish on the Royal Welsh Showground.

PREVIEW

The area of Cheshire East hosts the Tour of Britain for the first time with almost the entire stage taking place within the region. The modern Tour of Britain has passed through the county of Cheshire in recent years (2012 and 2014) but never before has the county hosted a Start or Finish of the race. The stage finishes in the historic deer park of Tatton Park, close to Manchester, and also includes the climb of the Cat & Fiddle, which will be the highest point on the 2016 route and the longest climb of the race.

Cat and Fiddle. Say no more! Its a legendary climb (the length is around we understand 10k) in cycling circles and it’s one of the climbs that will have an effect on the race. With two stages in their legs and a lot of climbing from the day before, there will be some fatigue that will be telling for some as the GC riders look to force the issue and whittle down the list of contenders.

The climbing on this stage is perhaps not as hellish as that on stage 2 but the long long climbs (Cat and Fiddle is the longest they have had in the race) will still provide a spring board for riders should they wish to use them. The design of the stage is all about putting the climbs at the back end of the stage; 98, 112, and 133km. That’s still a long way from the finish so a select group may well sprint it out in Tatton Park. The stage has two first cat climbs, one first cat and lots of uncategorised bumps.
