Preview. Stage 3 of the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali will be another day for the overall classification to be battled, as the riders face gravel climbs on a very explosive day.
Stage 3 to Forli sees another circuit. This will have an ascent that will be raced three times which is 4.7 kilometers long at 7.1%. Then, before the finale in Forli, the riders will take on another off-road climb which will be brutal and create differences as it averages 10.8% for 1.8 kilometers.
Estimated start time for Settimana Internazionale Stage 3: 12:05 - 15:45CET
Prediction Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali 2023 stage 3:
*** Sean Quinn, Mauro Schmid
** Thomas Gloag, James Shaw, Walter Calzoni
* Domenico Pozzovivo, Mark Padun, Gianluca Brambilla, Cristian Scaroni, Natnael Tesfatsion
Pick: Mark Padun
We knew it was just a matter of time before Sean Quinn took his first win. He put on a strong pace on the climbs, and put on a tactical master class with teammate James Shaw who took 4th. Lots of pink in the mix with Mark Padun and Ben Healy finishing in the top 15. 🏆
