El francés Alexandre Geniez (FDJ) se impuso en la tercera etapa del Tour de l’Ain (2.1) celebrada entre Lagnieu y Bellignat sobre 145 y es el nuevo líder de la general sucediendo a su excompañero y eompatriota Nacer Bouhanni, ganador de las dos anteriores jornadas. Geniez fue el más rapido de un pequeño grupo destacado por delante de Florian Vachon (Bretagne), Theo Vipere (Auber 93) y Pierre Latour (AG2R).
Es la segunda victoria 2015 de Geniez tras la del Tro Bro Leon, corredor que ganó una etapa pirenaica de la Vuelta a España 2013 en suelo francés. Y la segunda del grupo de Marc Madiot en el mismo día tras la de Johan Le Bon en el Eneco Tour.
El catalán Jordi Simón fue el primer español de la etapa en el puesto 18º a 2:02. La noticia negativa fue el abandono del excampeón del mundo, Albert Torres, tras romper la patilla del cambio y no tener coche de apoyo para cambiar su bicicleta. «Iba en el grupo de Bouhanni y no me ha quedado más remedio que subir al coche escoba», comentó el menorquín a Ciclo 21.
Puntos TOP Ciclo 21: Jordi Simón, 2 (primer español etapa 2.1).
