They controlled the day and then we had the plan to really be in a good position with 1k to go and this is what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However he had a moment of doubt after Groenewegen lunged for the line off to his left. The Dutchman is part of the up and coming Unibet Rose Rockets team and gave his all to try to get past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not really sure to win the stage, to be honest. I celebrated and then I said, \u2018oh, I am not sure,\u2019 Magnier admitted. \u201cBut in the end I won so I am really happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is riding his first Grand Tour and now has two victories to his credit. That\u2019s a big confidence boost, and so too is beating some of the most accomplished sprinters in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I have to say that I feel really good and I can be with the best sprinters in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I will try to enjoy this moment and keep going like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The finale was a dramatic one with the day\u2019s breakaway only caught inside the final 500 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 2 winner Thomas Silva (XDS Astana Team) continues to lead overall, four seconds ahead of Florian Stork (Tudor Pro Cycling) and Egan Bernan (Netcompany Ineos).<\/p>\n<h2>A day-long breakaway goes close<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_985465\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img alt=\"Diego Pablo Sevilla, Alessandro Tonelli and Manuele Tarozzi were the day's breakaway riders on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia (Photo by Dario Belingheri\/Getty Images)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-985465\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2275427617.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover 1x\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2275427617.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">Diego Pablo Sevilla, Alessandro Tonelli and Manuele Tarozzi were the day\u2019s breakaway riders on stage 3 of the Giro d\u2019Italia (Photo by Dario Belingheri\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Stage three of the Giro d\u2019Italia was the final day in Bulgaria and featured just one categorized climb, the second category Borovets Pass. This came just over halfway through the 175km stage, and would be followed closer to the end by the Red Bull KM sprint.<\/p>\n<p>King of the mountains leader Diego Pablo Sevilla plus fellow Team Polti VisitMalta rider Alessandro Tonelli went on the attack again, and were joined by Manuele Tarozzi (Bardiani CSF 7 Saber). They quickly gained almost four minutes but the sprinters teams were working behind to ensure a big group finish and reduced this gap somewhat.<\/p>\n<p>Sevilla picked up maximum points on the climb and the trio continued to race on towards the finish, holding an advantage of 2:08 with 59km to go and just 40 seconds with 40km left on the clock. This caused the sprinters\u2019 teams to back off, with this enabling Tarozzi to win the Red Bull sprint with 12.8km left.<\/p>\n<p>The trio raised their game to try to stay out until the end, and were only caught inside 500 meters to go.<\/p>\n<p>The sprinters hurled themselves to the front and Milan led out, with Magnier edging past and Groenewegen taking third.<\/p>\n<p>Race leader Silva rolled in safely and holds the pink jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn incredible day,\u201d he said. \u201cI enjoyed it immensely, and we actually kept it, so first objective achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed he recovered well after stage 2 and was able to savor his time in the Maglia Rosa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe beginning of the race was relatively calm, which allowed me to really enjoy it, and then there was a bit of tension to see if the breakaway would make it past the Red Bull kilometer mark. But all in all, we can say that it was, all things considered, an easy day.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A brief lull, and then GC battle begins to rage<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_985466\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img alt=\"Guillermo Silva wore the race leader's Maglia Rosa on stage 3, having won stage 2 (Photo: Luca Bettini \/ AFP)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1559\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-985466\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274906250.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover 1x\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274906250.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">Guillermo Silva wore the race leader\u2019s Maglia Rosa on stage 3, having won stage 2 (Photo: Luca Bettini \/ AFP)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next up for the Giro d\u2019Italia is a transfer to Italy and a rest day on Monday.
