Sam Bennett and Dylan Groenewegen were declassified for deviating from their line in the closing 100 metres of the sprint won by Christophe Laporte in stage 3 of the Critérium du Dauphiné. Bennett finished second and Groenewegen third, but were pushed to 33rd and 34th, respectively, after officials determined they had violated rules that require sprinters to hold their line. Laporte claimed his second stage victory of the Dauphiné and extended his race lead to 11 seconds ahead of Julian Alaphilippe.

Controversy at Critérium du Dauphiné stage 3 as Laporte claims victory and Bennett/Groenewegen are relegated.

Christophe Laporte won his second stage in three days at the Critérium du Dauphiné in a crash-marred finale. Sam Bennett opened up the sprint but closed the door on the right-hand side to stifle Dylan Groenewegen. Laporte saw a clean shot to the line and finished it off to widen his lead in the overall standings, with Bennett second and Groenewegen in third. The race jury relegated both Bennett and Groenewegen. With Wednesday’s time trial on tap, the sprinter teams wanted to deliver the bunch sprint for their fast finishers.
