Hushovd takes 3rd stage of Tour of Missouri

Published: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 4:51 PM CDT

ROLLA, Mo. (AP) -- Thor Hushovd of Norway won the third stage of the Tour of Missouri after outsprinting the pack in the final meters Wednesday.

Hushovd, of Cervelo Test, made the final move after a series of short-lived breakaways late in the 114.3-mile road race from Farmington to Rolla. Juan Jose Haedo of Saxo Bank finished second and Dario Cataldo of Quick Step third.

Great Britain's Mark Cavendish, of Columbia-HTC, wore the yellow jersey Wednesday after winning the first two stages. Cavendish finished fifth Wednesday behind Daniel Oss.

The third stage was considered one of the toughest in the week-long race, with more than 6,000 feet of total climbing. Three riders broke away from the main pack about five miles into the stage, creating a gap of almost 4 minutes at one point.

The race concludes Sunday in Kansas City.
