    Alexander Kristoff wins stage three of the Tour of Oman.

    Script:

    With temperatures close to 40 °C, it was another tough day for the remaining riders of the Tour of Oman for stage three.

    Van Hecke, Van Merhaeghe and Tonelli made an early breakaway.

    At one stage, the trio were nine minutes and 15 seconds ahead at the 23km mark, before the Trek team led the pack to start chasing them down.

    Gradually the gap reduced and the peloton regained control; remaining in tact all the way to the final straight.

    With plenty of support from his Katusha team mates, it was Alexander Kristoff who powered to his first success of this 2015 Tour of Oman.

    The Norwegian beat Andrea Guardini and Matteo Pelucchi to the line to win the stage.

    Finishing 50th today and part of the bunched part, Fabian Cancellara keeps his overall leader's Red Jersey.

    He holds a four minute lead over Valverde while third placed Konrad is a further minute behind.
