Another windy and chaotic day at the Tour of Lithuania 2026 but Alexander Konychev and his China Anta - Mentech Cycling Team once again proved their worth. With the valuable contribution of all his teammates, the Verona-born rider (winner of the opening stage) finished the third stage of 177 kilometers with start and finish in Utena in fourth place, a placement (the same as the second stage) that allowed him to maintain his lead in both the general classification (where he leads by 5 seconds over Dane Magnus Machholdt) and the points classification.
The stage, animated and open until the final moments, saw the twenty-year-old Estonian Karl Kurits (racing for his national team) triumph in the sprint ahead of Radosław Frątczak (Wibatech Lubelskie Perła Polski) and Mārtiņš Pluto (Energus Cycling Team), finding a success that had been missing since last year's edition of the Baltic stage race where he had won two stages.
