Tim Merlier si prende la terza tappa del Giro d’Italia 2024. Il primo duello allo sprint è del belga della Soudal-Quick Step, che si impone di mezza ruota su Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) e Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). Una frazione che, dopo un lungo inseguimento del gruppo sugli sprinter che avevano preso un po’ di margine, ha visto nel finale l’imprevisto tentativo della maglia rosa Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), che ha seguito Mikkel Honoré (EF Education Easypost) e si è visto Geraint Thomas (Ineos-Grenadiers) sulle sue ruote.
I due hanno resistito fino ai 500 metri dal traguardo, con Milan che ha dovuto lanciare una volata lunghissima venendo costretto anche a doversi spostare sulla sinistra per l’allargamento di Ethan Vernon (Israel – Premier Tech). Così Merlier, rimasto coperto, ha potuto fare tranquillamente la sua volata prendendosi la vittoria.
