Michael Woods climbs to a brilliant victory on stage 3 of La Route d'Occitanie

Israel - Premier Tech's Michael Woods emerged victorious on stage 3 of La Route d'Occitanie in a two-man sprint to the line with Cristian Rodriguez.

Stage 3 is the queen stage of La Route d'Occitanie. It's a tough day with a summit finish where the overall classification should be decided.

With the two-man breakaway of Lorenzo Germani and Pelayo Sanchez still over a minute ahead at 25km to go, Chris Froome came to the front of the peloton and began emptying himself for the chase.

Once they were caught, the race ignited. When Michael Woods made his big move, only Cristian Rodriguez was able to follow.

The leading duo weren't exactly working well together though. Instead bickering, with both hoping the other would do the work.

Nevertheless, they entered the final 3km with a lead with Ruben Guerreiro chasing behind.

In the final kilometre, Woods and Rodriguez entered side-by-side. Once Woods made his move though it was all over.
