The highlights of the stage
Joshua Golliker (Groupama FDJ) and Ludovico Crescioli (Team Technipes) are the giants of the third stage of the 60° Giro Ciclistico Internazionale della Valle d'Aosta Mont Blanc scheduled for 128 kilometers from Sarre to Pré Saint Didier Verrand. The Groupama FDJ standard bearer, in fact, after a long escape that began on the first ramps of the GPM of Verrogne, managed to overtake the Colombian Martinez Huertas Guillermo (Q36.5 Cycling Team) on the descent of Colle San Carlo and, resisting on the final ascent of Verrand, prevails on the final finish line by a few seconds. The Italian Ludovico Crescioli, however, thanks to his fourth place in the stage behind a Jarno Wydar (Lotto Dstny), won the CVA yellow jersey just ahead of the Belgian rider. After failing on the final ramps of Colle San Carlo, former general classification leader Ilkhan Dostiyev (Astana Qazaqstan) relegates to thirteenth position. The blue jersey Valle d'Aosta also goes on the shoulders of Crescioli, while the white of the young Cervino Ski Paradise remains in Wydar, just as the red Haute Savoye le Département remains with Tommaso Dati (Biesse Carrera). The polka dot jersey Eaux Valdotaines of the climbers goes to Martinez Huertas Guillermo, first today on the GPMs of Verrogne and Colle San Carlo.

Technical Info
Tourist info
Situated at 631 meters above sea level, just outside Aosra, Sarre offers good accommodation, both in hotel facilities and campsites, and is chosen by tourists who want easy access to the valleys of the Gran Paradiso National Park and the surroundings of Aosta. The name Sarre derives from the pre-Roman voice sarra, which means 'narrow within the mountains'. Really the territory extends over a very large area, which also reaches 3.061 meters of altitude of Mont Fallère. The good exposure has allowed since ancient times the foundation of many villages, now surrounded by orchards and vineyards.

Icy and turbulent waters, steamy hot springs, deep ravines and cliffs, thick woods on steep slopes, unexpected but stunning views over the glaciers of Mont Blanc: Pré-Saint-Didier is all this and much more.
Already known in Roman times as Prata ad Sanctum Desiderium as a military post along the Gauls Road, Pré-Saint-Didier started to face a slow but continue tourist development from the second half of the XVII century, when it became a well-known destination thanks to its hot springs. The town itself is deeply connected to this resource: in 1834 a new structure for the thermal baths was built, and the whole complex has been recently renovated. Today Pré-Saint-Didier, which is only a few kilometres away from the famous ski resorts of Courmayeur and La Thuile, keeps on being a true reference point for relax and wellness, but also a place that offers a rich tourist offer to its guests.
