(Watch) An eclectic mix of quaint and quirky villages: Haute Pyrenees Stage 3

From the moody Col du Port to start the day, an eclectic mix of quaint and quirky villages, to the stunning switchbacks of Menté, Stage Three of the 2021 Haute Route Pyrenees had it all. It was a huge effort from the entire peloton, who battled through a cold start to finish this mega 173km course. Setting out from Ax-Les-Termes, riders climbed more than 3500m+ over the course of the day to reach the finish line at Bagnères de Luchon. Marco Rodero Prada took the men’s stage win ahead of Kevin Lago and Pierre Carlet, while Almudena Arrechea took the women’s stage victory ahead of Ana Maria Ybarra Corcuera and Alice Morel. Tomorrow riders continue their five-day race across the Pyrenees with a 120km stage including the mighty Tourmalet.
