Wednesday, March 26: Stage 3, Banyoles - La Molina, 162.9 km

33.597 km/hr average speed

The Race: 34-year old Joaquin Rodriguez punched his way up the final climb of the day (5.3 km @ 6% average gradient), leaving Alberto Contador (who so far had been showing superb form) five seconds behind.

Rodriguez wasn't going to wait for the sprint. He took off with 350 meters to go. It was a double win for the Catalonian as he won both the stage and the overall race lead.

It was a another cold day and for some of the race Rodriguez even wore a muffler to keep warm.
