Cycling: Sören Waerenskjold won the third stage of the Deutschland Tour. The Norwegian was declared the winner after Dutchman Danny van Poppel was eliminated.
Waerenskjold extends his lead
After Danny van Poppel (RB Bora-Hansgrohe) repeatedly deviated from his line while leading, it was almost inevitable that there would be consequences. And so it did. The Dutch champion was relegated to 33rd place, and Sören Waerenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) was declared the stage winner. Today's stage took the professionals 175,7 kilometers from Arnsberg to Kassel. With his stage win, Waerenskjold further extended his lead in the general classification. He now leads the standings by ten seconds over Colombian Jhonatan Narváez (UAE-XRG). Tomorrow, the 40th edition of the Deutschland Tour concludes in Magdeburg after five days. A mass sprint is expected.
The bad boy of the bunch sprints, Danny van Poppel was relegated in Germany after sprinting all over the road and moving (twice) on Brennan. He collects them yellow cards like pokemons. The victory went to Soren Waerenskjold. #YourTour pic.twitter.com/A7XkVfWyqa
