|
Manxman Mark Cavendish finished stage three of the Tour of Missouri fifth as Norwegian rival Thor Hushovd took the win and the leader's jersey. After a day of hard climbs the Norwegian edged out Argentine Juan Jose Haedo in a chaotic sprint finish. The result sees the Norwegian take over the overall leaders jersey and the sprint jersey from Cavendish. The 23-year-old Manxman will start the 175.7km fourth stage wearing the Best Young Rider jersey. Cavendish's Colombia HTC team mate and Australian national time trial champion Michael Rogers is ninth.
