Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo) wins Tirreno-Adriatico stage 3 from a solo effort attacking on the steep slopes section of the climb to Trevi.
Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) desperately tried to bridge the gap but finished three seconds back while Tiesj Benoot (Lotto Soudal) was third an additional three seconds behind.
