Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour de Taiwan witnessed a surprise victory from Bentley Niquet-Olden of CCACHE x Par Küp. The grueling 154km route, starting in Xinpu and finishing in Shigang, saw Niquet-Olden outpace a strong peloton to claim the stage win.

While details on the specific race dynamics remain unavailable, the results speak volumes. Niquet-Olden’s triumph shakes up the overall standings, propelling him to the top spot (position 58) with a significant lead.

Davide De Cassan (Team Polti Kometa) and Antoine Debons (Team Corratec – Vini Fantini) followed closely behind Niquet-Olden, securing second and third place respectively. Notably, pre-race favorite Mason Hollyman (Israel – Premier Tech) maintained his lead in the General Classification (GC) despite not winning the stage.

This unexpected outcome adds intrigue to the remaining stages of the Tour de Taiwan. With Niquet-Olden now a strong contender, the battle for the yellow jersey promises to be an exciting one. Fans can expect fierce competition as the riders navigate the challenging terrain ahead.”
