Stage 3 Quotes

Manual Cardosa after Stage 3 Win:

I was extremely happy to have won the tough stage to Stirling.

Once the attack had been closed Caisse dEpargne did a lot of work on the front in preparation for the finish but I was able to make a big move in the final kilometre.
Susan: Can you win the overall?

I dont think I Have a chance to win the overall despite my win here, I have had a lot of hard days over the first couple of days of this race, I am probably too far behind. But it was really important for me, it is my first pro race, first pro team, first pro tour victory for him and the team, so it is a very important win.

 

Cadel Evans 3rd Place:

"It was a bit of a strange old day, a bit harder than most expected, pretty windy and the heat of course. Coming into the last kilometer it was like riding in slow motion almost, everyone was so exhausted.
 
It is not often I get into the last kilometer with Robbie McEwen, in fact never.
 
It was a tough litttle race early in the season that changes everything around.
 
My team are all a bit disappointed, I told them not to ride for me today, then I come third."
