Eric Young enjoyed first win of the season on stage 3 of the Joe Martin Stage Race, winning a photo finish sprint ahead of Rui Oliveira (Axeon Hagens Berman) and yesterday's victor Sebastian Haedo (UnitedHealthcare). The Rally rider timed his bike throw to perfection as the top sprinters lined out across the finish. However, it was Young who took the narrow victory.
Race leader Adam De Vos (Rally) holds onto the yellow jersey after his 14th place and will take a three second lead over into the fourth and final stage.

For Oliveira, it was the second runner-up position in as many days for the Portuguese. The 20-year-old thanked his teammates but explained he was again disappointed to have come so close to victory.
"I can't thank my teammates enough for the job they did," he said. "They protected me all day. In the last few kilometers, there was chaos and they did everything to help me. The work they did was so helpful to me. I just had to sprint. I think I am sprinting at the right moment and the feelings are good. But I was just a few centimeters short again. I am not sad for me, but sad that I could not give the guys the reward that they deserve."
