victory on stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse, narrowly surviving from a two-rider breakaway alongside Xandro Meurisse (Pinarello-Q36.5) ahead of the peloton.<\/p>\n<p>The pair got up the road during an aggressive fight for the breakaway between the two categorised climbs along the 157km route in Bad Ragaz, and survived storms, a torrential downpour, and a full gas charge from the peloton to take the day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-6f30741b-c9a3-4f52-bfb3-2322170666e5-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Narv\u00e1ez launched from the wheel of Meurisse in the final 150 metres, with the bunch kicking off just in the background, reaching the line with enough time to celebrate with his arms aloft, backing up the victory of his teammate and Tadej Poga\u010dar on stage 1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6

chance at the Tour de Suisse for the sprinters, they wouldn&#8217;t have felt it early on as they climbed almost straight out of the flag drop near Bad Ragaz on an uncategorised ascent, where seven riders established the early breakaway of the day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Getting up the road was Sander De Pestel (Decathlon CMA CGM), Axel Laurance (Netcompany-Ineos), Sam Oomen (Lidl-Trek), Lorenzo Germani (Groupama FDJ United), Louis Vervaeke (Soudal-QuickStep), Simon Dalby (Uno-X Mobility), and Marco Brenner (Tudor), and they had built a lead of more than 90 seconds ahead of the first climb.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both

victory on stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse, narrowly surviving from a two-rider breakaway alongside Xandro Meurisse (Pinarello-Q36.5) ahead of the peloton.<\/p>\n<p>The pair got up the road during an aggressive fight for the breakaway between the two categorised climbs along the 157km route in Bad Ragaz, and survived storms, a torrential downpour, and a full gas charge from the peloton to take the day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-6f30741b-c9a3-4f52-bfb3-2322170666e5-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Narv\u00e1ez launched from the wheel of Meurisse in the final 150 metres, with the bunch kicking off just in the background, reaching the line with enough time to celebrate with his arms aloft, backing up the victory of his teammate and Tadej Poga\u010dar on stage 1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6

chance at the Tour de Suisse for the sprinters, they wouldn&#8217;t have felt it early on as they climbed almost straight out of the flag drop near Bad Ragaz on an uncategorised ascent, where seven riders established the early breakaway of the day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Getting up the road was Sander De Pestel (Decathlon CMA CGM), Axel Laurance (Netcompany-Ineos), Sam
