Stage 3 embraced a dual mountain format. Beginning in Crofton riders pedalled through pastoral farmlands to Mount Tzouhalem and embraced a rowdy lap of it's finest tech and flow. After finishing the route the assembled attendees from 36 countries had a 7km neutral soft pedal over to the second part of today's stage, Maple Mountain. Here the legendary climbing trail Xylem carried riders to the height of the mountain and its tasty delivery of a burly descent on Maple Syrup, Solar Coaster and Phloem - enjoy the trails as Vivian Favery Costa shows her prowess on the Fox Timed Downhill and more.
