Aru solos to Dauphiné stage victory with late-race attack, Contador retains yellow
by Michael Better
Fabio Aru’s tough spring season, marred by illness and poor fitness, triggered rumors that Astana teammate Vincenzo Nibali might share GC leadership at the Tour de France, even after winning the Giro d’Italia in May.
On Wednesday in Tournon-sur-Rhône, Aru showed he’s deserving of the team’s faith after a sensational solo victory on stage 3 of the Criterium du Dauphine, springing clear inside the final 15 kilometres.
“It was an easy day on paper, but it’s been hard all day,” Aru said. “I tried to go on the hill and my teammate Luis Leon Sanchez made it across. After I went solo, I only thought of pushing at the maximum. I’ve never thought I’d win this way.”
Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) led the peloton across the line two seconds after Aru, with Niccolo Bonifazio (Trek-Segafredo) in third.
Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) survived a late-race scare, as the yellow jersey holder punctured with barely over 3km remaining in the stage. A quick bike change with teammate Roman Kreuziger allowed the two-time Tour de France winner to rejoin the peloton quickly and retain his lead in the general classification for another day over Richie Porte (BMC Racing). Chris Froome (Sky) remains third overall 13 seconds adrift of Contador.
