CyclingFriday, 27 February 2026 at 15:27
Dusan Rajovic has proved to be the strongest on stage 3 of the Giro di Sardegna, taking the victory in a bunch sprint held in the town of Tortoli.
Despite being flat, once again there was a very unusual breakaway formation period, with Soudal - Quick-Step's Pascal Eenkhoorn looking to be part of the front group, but waiting for the peloton as the riders who attacked early didn't wait for each other and ally. Instead, Ignazio Cireddu held the lead of the race by himself for a long time, joined later by Ivan Taccone.
A regular sprint stage, eventually the duo was caught with 26 kilometers to go; and with 11 to go Lidl-Trek Future's Thor Michielsen attacked, only to be caught just outside the final kilometer.
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe and Team Polti VisitMalta swarmed the front of the peloton ahead of the sprint, with their leadouts mixed together. Their two leaders Davide Donati and Manuel Peñalver sprinted head-to-head but had to settle for second and third; as from behind Serbian sprinter Dusan Rajovic sprinted to victory, an important one for Solution Tech-NIPPO-Rali.

maria2024202427-02-2026 - humbleness? He speaks as if Tadej were taking a sure victory from him, as if he were a direct competitor of Tadej, there are 83 other competitors before Tadej. I don't see humbleness in his words. And to improve, you have to compete against the best, not run away as if it were a waste of time.maria2024202427-02-2026
- You could do 20 if you stopped focusing on Remco. I saw a huge jump the year I went for 10k from a 5-6k base At one point I promised myself I’d add 1k/y to keep the same shape but then became father again so haven’t managed 10k again but didn’t lose any shape either, just a lot of sleep (my free pass for using too much time here). What does the wife think of it, or do you have to hide it from her?Mistermaumau27-02-2026
- We’ll see for years to come, not just during a one-off race. Let riders have half their career at least before defining their legacy.Mistermaumau27-02-2026

- There was a lot of humbleness too and I’m pretty sure he won’t stay stuck in the 80s so lets give the lad a chance. I’m pretty sure all those not on the way down have the ambition to move up and almost everyone will have at least one great race in their career.Mistermaumau27-02-2026
