Samuel Leroux, 30-year-old Frenchman riding for TotalEnergies, won stage 3 of the Tour Poitou-Charentes en Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a 27.3 km time trial between Chauvigny and Jardres. He finished ahead of Nicolas Milesi (Arkéa–B&B Hôtels) and Clément Berthet (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team). The 21-year-old Milesi, part of the Breton team’s development roster, was the only Italian in a top-10 otherwise entirely French, and he now sits in third place overall.

This ITT was indeed decisive in shaping the GC: Leroux crowned his great day by also taking the leader’s jersey on the eve of tomorrow’s grand finale in the regional capital.
