Peter Sagan moves closer to overall lead at Eneco Tour
Rohan Dennis, the current overall leader at the Eneco Tour after the first three stages, pointed to Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) as the biggest threat to his white leader's jersey after Sagan won stage 3 and crept closer to the overall lead. Sagan is now in second place, only three seconds behind the Australian.
Sagan was third in the opening day's sprint, won by Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNl-Jumbo), and so started the stage race six seconds out of the overall lead. In stage 2, Dennis won the time trial but Sagan rode an impressive seventh place, only 17 seconds off of the stage winner's mark, putting himself third overall at 13 seconds back.

Sagan moved up to second overall after his stage 3 victory, during which he floated almost effortlessly through the chaotic bunch sprint. He is breathing down Dennis' neck at only three seconds back with another presumed sprint stage ahead.
“I think God opened the street for me in the finishing sprint like Moses parted the seas,” Sagan said after the finish. “It was fun and I’m very happy to win here. Thanks again to all my teammates as they did an unbelievable job on the last laps and helped me today.
"For now, we’re doing very well but we’ll take it day by day and see how we are tomorrow and then in the team time trial. Sunday is still some way away but for now we’re doing well and we’ll try to continue like this.”
