Stage 3 elevation guide


Stage 4: Tuesday Sept 1, Venlo - Liège 225.5 km

Results:

It was a rainy stage with almost continual crashes. With about 2.5 kilometers a big high-speed crash took out a lot of the peloton. Astana's Chris Horner fractured his wrist in his third serious injury of the year. He has been forced to leave the Vuelta. It looks like all the riders who were delayed were given the same time as winner Andre Greipel, which is reflected in the GC times.
