An all-Dutch podium in the Sittard / Watersley stage, the third stage of the Eneco Tour Women 2026. Femke Markus, the 29-year-old from SD Worx Protime, left behind the general classification leader Lieke Nooijen (Visma Lease a Bike) and 23-year-old Maud Rijnbeek (VolkerWessels) who, at the end of the 87 kilometers on the program, claimed the lowest step of the day's podium.

Yet another strong performance from Letizia Borghesi. The rider from Trentino with AG Insurance - Soudal Team, already in the top-10 in the prologue and yesterday's stage, today celebrated her twenty-eighth birthday with a fifth-place finish.

In the general classification, Nooijen leads by 28" over Markus and 42" over Vinke. Tomorrow's fourth stage starts from Hoogeveen and finishes at Col du VAM.
