Paul Magnier took the sprint win in Sofia at the end of stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia on Sunday, winning his second stage at his second attempt.

Wearing the cyclamen jersey of the points classification leader, the Soudal Quick Step rider came over the top of Lidl-Trek's Jonathan Milan, who opened up his sprint around 250m form the line, before they reached a stretch of cobbles which took them over the line. The Frenchman out-powered his Italian counterpart, edging him into second place, with Dylan Groenewegen (Unibet-Rose Rockets) taking third place.
