Brown outsprints Chabbey to win Ceratizit Challenge stage 3 at Aguilar de Campoo

Grace Brown (FDJ SUEZ Futuroscope) won stage 3 of the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta in a sprint of two against Élise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM). 

After the race had fallen apart into smaller groups on the long Hoces de Bárcena climb, the two riders had attacked from a group of favourites with just under 10 kilometres to go and held off the chase group.

Brown stayed in Chabbey’s wheel onto the finishing straight, and when Chabbey opened the sprint, Brown brought her bike up to speed in a high gear to win the sprint.
