Boonen wins second stage in a row
Tom Boonen timed his sprint perfectly to take the glory in Tours on stage three of the Tour de France.The Belgian pipped Peter Wrolich, Robbie McEwen and Stuart O'Grady, although the former lost his place for hindering O'Grady's line at the finish.
Erik Dekker, Nicolas Portal and Rubens Bertogliati had broken after just 27km but were gobbled up close to the end.
Race leader David Zabriskie and six-times Tour winner Lance Armstrong finished safely in the peloton.
Quickstep rider Boonen won Sunday's second stage in similarly daring fashion and keeps the green jersey for best sprinter.
