Quick-Step Floors\u2019 Fernando Gaviria has just won third stage in Buga sprinting to the finish line in 3 hours, 30 minutes and 5 seconds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is the rider\u2019s third consecutive victory and he is now leading the general classification of the race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFernando has always had, let\u2019s say, a winning mentality, and every time he had a problem and wasn\u2019t able to win it bothered him a lot. That meant he had a very temperamental character. He was a bit detached, and he wasn\u2019t very open,\u201d \u00c9der Garc\u00e9s from the Colombian Cycling Federation has claimed about Gaviria.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2014 Tour de l\u2019Avenir was when he really started to become a star, and then in 2015 he won his first Omnium world title. When he beat Cavendish twice at the 2015 Tour de San Luis, we started to see a different Fernando. He had more of a network around him, people invested more in him, and he realized he needed to open up for this new phase of his life, which is being one of the stars of world cycling,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s third 163.2km stage went over a flat route allowing the sprinters to give their best when fighting to cross the finish line sooner than the others. Since at the beginning of the stage, there were five riders who were able to immediately escape from the main group.<\/p>\n
