Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) moved one step closer to 100 career victories on Friday, timing his final sprint to perfection to win stage 3 of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista del Sol. The veteran Norwegian has now won 97 races in his career.

It looked as though Ineos Grenadiers’ Ben Turner might be the man with his hands in the air in Pozoblanco, as the Brit launched a long-range effort 300 metres from the finish line, but Kristoff came through at the last moment to snatch victory on the line, and prevent a third Ineos celebration this week.
