Rivera sprints to fourth on stage three

Brandon Rivera unleashed an impressive turn of speed to sprint to fourth place on stage three of the Giro d'Italia.

The Colombian rode superbly on the run into Vlore, helping to position teammate Egan Bernal, before surfing the wheels and launching a fantastic sprint.

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) won the sprint to move back into the maglia rosa on the race's third and final day in Albania.

Bernal and Thymen Arensman were protected well on a day which featured the tough second-category Qafa e Llogarase climb.

Bernal moved up to 21st place overall, 57 seconds back on Pedersen, as the race prepares to head back to Italian soil.

The day was also notable as Josh Tarling went on the attack early as part of a six-man breakaway. 24 hours after his stage-winning heroics on the TT bike, the Welshman forged on up the road in the opening kilometres, yet the move's advantage was pegged at three minutes by the bunch.
