Tour of China II, third stage with a new leader of the General Ranking. He is always an #OrangeBlue rider, but no more Nicolas Marini. The young sprinter was the leader since from the very first stage, today the new one is Riccardo Stacchiotti. colas Marini maintain the leadership of the blue jersey point ranking.
The today race has been with an escape of 10 riders, watched by the group two laps before the end, when the group divided in two groups, with Nicolas Marini in the second part. But Stacchiotti and Kuboki were in good position so they participated to the final sprint, with a final second place and a new leadership of the general ranking.

Two stages to the end of the tour remains, but with many intermediate second bonus and two possible arrival sprint. The team is ready to compete as it says Ricardo Stachiotti:
“We have been working to close on a 10 riders escape and we catch them, but when the group divided in two parts with Nicolas behind we waited a little bit to understand if he could try to re-catch the group. Then I was feeling good so I participated to the final sprint and with this second place I’m now the new leader of the ranking. Will be hard but we will battle to maintain the jersey until the end.”
