Stage 3 of the Tour de Taiwan was held on March 11th in Changhua county, starting and finishing at Baguashan. Going into the day, John Murphy held the leaders yellow jersey and Merida Europe were the leading team after Wesoly Marek’s win in stage two. Unlike the first two stages, the Baguashan stage was a road stage with riders taking on a 117.4km route through Changhua county.

The race traveled along county route 19 out to Lugang, then headed down the coast towards Wanggong, before turning inland and moving through the towns of Tianwei and Yuanlin. Chou Po-yuan, magistrate of Changhua county government said

To do the best intention for “Changhua County walk out, the World entered in”, we [the Changhua County Government] cooperated with bicycle companies especially Merida for this [Tour de Taiwan] race to promote the best landscape in Changhua including Bagua Buddha, historic spot of Lukang, Wang-Gong Footbridge, and Tienwei Highway Garden to improve the tourism industry in Changhua County.

After two hours in the saddle, the riders returned to Baguashan for a final 21km lap.

A 6 rider breakaway formed in front of the peloton, but a crash reduced the distance. In a final climb to the finish, young Australian rider Peter McDonald of the Drapac Porsche Development Team clinched a narrow victory from Erik Hoffmann of the Giant Asia Team, in a time of 2:45:48 with an average speed of 48.45km/hr.
