He✅llo and welcome to our live coverage of the third stage here at Tirreno-Adriatico.

To𓂃day's stage sees the peloton take on a 170-kilometre ride🍸 south-east from Murlo in Tuscany to Terni in the central region of Umbria. We're likely to see another sprint finish after yesterday's triumph by Tim Merlier.

10 minutes until today's start, with a 12.8 kilometre neu🌊tral zone. The real start is set for 1:10pm local time, so 30 minutes away.

Stage 2 winner Merlier is in the points jersey today, taking it over from Filippo Ganna, who has the same total po🦋ints. The Belgian should move clear today but will hang on to it in the likely sprint finish later on?

The hilltop village of Murlo hosts the start today. 💙Looks like a nice little place to kick off a bike race.

The peloton is rolling out of M🗹urlo at the moment. Stage 3 is underway!

Peter Sagan (TotalEnergies) hasn't taken the start today after fallin𒈔g ill.

Story to come on Sagan's withdrawal. The Slovakian finished fourth♕ in yesterday's sprint finish, a positive sign after a tough start to the season. He'll look to recover in time for his first major goal of the season at Milan-San Remo in 1⛦0 days' time.

It's 10°C and sunny at the start today, 𓃲dece𒀰nt weather for racing. The riders will be leaving the neutral zone shortly.

Peter Sagan out of Tirreno-Adriatico with fever and stomach problems

The opening kilometres💜 have been run at a very high pace as riders battl🎶e to make the break of the day.

Unsurprising🌺ly, several men from the Italian P🎐roTeams are attempting to get away.

160km to go

We're also running live coverage of stage 4 time trial at Paris-Nice today

We have a breakaway...

Davide Bais (Eolo-Kometa) is out there agai🧸n. He's in the move with his older brother ꧅Mattia (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli) as well as his teammate Mirco Maestri. 

25-year-old Mattia Bais has been a pro for three years now, each of them spent at Androni. 23-෴year-old Davide, meanwhile, made the step up last season.

150km to go

A look at the rider❀s leaving Murlo earlier on today.

The soℱle classified climb of the day is coming up after 40 kilometres of racing🌠. Bais (Davide) will look to extend his KOM lead there.

It's no surpriꦅse that the sprinter's teams are working at the head of the peloton at the moment. Alpecin-Fenix (for stage 2 winner Tim Merlier) and BikeExchange-Jayco (for Kaden Groves) are up there at the moment.

Bais, race leader Filippo Ganna, 🔯and top young rider Remco Evenepoel riding at th🐓e front of the peloton in the neutral zone earlier on.

The break will soon be coming🦩 up toward🃏s the day's only climb.

The cli꧟mb to La Foce is 5.4 kilometres long at 4.ꦫ6 per cent.

135km to go

The break are on the climb now, and their advantage continues to drop. Th𒈔e peloton🌼 is 2:25 back.

Davide Bais leading the breakaway.

Bais has more points to add ꦅto his collection. He led the breakaway over the top with Rastelli and Maestri behind hi꧋m.

Now that Davide Bais has grabbed the KOM points, he drops back from the breakaway. That's all he was looking for on today's stage, so he might as wওell save some energy – presumably to get out 🅠there again in the coming days.

112km to go

The men in blue – BikeExchange-Jayco and Filippo🎀 Ganna – lead the peloton.

Caleb Ewan has a chain problem. He stops at the side of the road to get some help from his mecha🎃nic.

1:30 for the breakaway now.

100km to go

Following on from our story on the opening time trial of Tirr☂eno-Adriatico on riders getting aero gains from following team cars stacked with bikes, we've spoken to Al🍬ex Dowsett about the issue.

Alpecin-Fenix, Movistar, BikeExchange-Jayco ride at the ꦿhead of the peloton. 1:40 to the b🤪reakaway.

Frankly not a whole lot going on at the moment as the gap is steady and there's little to fight for out on the road here. The day's intermediate sprint comes at just🙈 under 30 kilometres from the line, over 60 kilometres away from where the riders are now.

Caleb Ewan has stopped again. Hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe waits for a bike change. It's unclear what the p✃roblem is this time.

90km to go

The break of the day ft. some sheep.

Caleb Ewan has stopped yet again. His Lotto Soudal mechanics jump out to fix something with his handlebars. Ma🎐ybe the alignment was a bit off.

77km to go

More musettes for the peloton as they take lunch.

Gazprom-RusVelo manager Renat Khamidulin has ꧟set a deadline of March 27 to save the team, whether that's through talks with the UCI – which reportedly aren't going well – or a new sponso💙rship deal for the team.

Over in Paris-Nice, the stage 4 time trial is drawing to a♚ conclusion.

63km to go

Down to a minute now as t🤡hey kick up the pace in the peloto♐n. BikeExchange-Jayco up there as well.

It's Ewan vs Démare!

A hard sprint on the cobbled road in Terni.

And Ewan takes it!

It looked like a close𒊎 one there. And after all the problems he's had during  the stage too...

Ewan was in prime position behind Démare and Ackermann aro꧂und the finওal bend.

Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) took third place behind Ewan and Démare, his s🐲econd podium in two days.
