Giro 2014: Stage 3 Favourites: Another likely sprint showdown…

Sunday, May 11th, 2014 - Some early hills in stage 3 but it's expected that the peloton will get its timing right and reel in any breaks to set up a bunch sprint into Dublin. (Slideshow route/profile)

Similar to yesterday’s stage and hence the same men are likely to be in the mix. Which sprinter will have the best May form? Is it Kittel, or is somebody else?

There are plenty of strong sprinters present and watch out for American Tyler Farrar. He’s had a couple of tough years since the death of his friend Wouter Weylandt but looks to be hitting form again in 2014.

Favourites:
Marcel Kittel

Outsiders:
Michael Matthews
Nacer Bouhanni
Boy van Poppel
Ben Swift
Tyler Farrar
