Tour de France 2015 stage 3 was a 159.5 km race from Antwerp to Huy, Belgium, that featured a dramatic finish on the steep Mur de Huy climb. The stage was marred by several crashes that caused the race to be neutralized for about 10 minutes and forced some riders to abandon, including the yellow jersey holder Fabian Cancellara. The stage winner was Joaquim Rodriguez from Team Katusha, who attacked in the final kilometer and held off Chris Froome from Team Sky and Alexis Vuillermoz from AG2R La Mondiale. Froome took over the race lead and the yellow jersey, while Rodriguez also claimed the polka dot jersey as the best climber. The stage was a showcase for the puncheurs, who excel on short and steep hills, and a test for the overall contenders, who had to avoid losing time or crashing on a chaotic day.
