With the absence of Mark Cavendish, I did not expect Team Columbia-HTC to win any of the sprints. That theory was shot down today when New Zealander Gregory Henderson pulled of the suprise victory in stage 3 with the help of a great lead out by Andre Greipel.
Stage 3 results:
1 Gregory Henderson (NZL) Columbia-HTC 04:41:01
2 Borut Bozic (SLO) Vacansoleil
3 Oscar Freire (ESP) Rabobank
4 André Greipel (GER) Columbia-HTC
5 William Bonnet (FRA) Bbox Bouygues Telecom
6 Tom Boonen (BEL) Quick Step
7 Roger Hammond (GBR) Cervélo TestTeam
8 Wouter Weylandt (BEL) Quick Step
9 Stuart O'Grady (AUS) Saxo Bank
10 Jürgen Roelandts (BEL) Silence-Lotto
11 Tyler Farrar (USA) Garmin-Slipstream
12 Francisco Jose Pacheco Torres (ESP) Contentpolis-Ampo
13 Daniele Bennati (ITA) Liquigas
14 Sébastien Chavanel (FRA) Française des Jeux
15 Leonardo Duque (COL) Cofidis
