Mathias Frank won the 3rd and final stage of this year’s Criterium International today. Meanwhile, Ag2r La Mondiale’s Christophe Peraud took the overall race victory.
Frank won the final stage atop the climb of Col de l’Ospedale, with Peraud finishing second ahead of Tiago Machado to wrest the yellow jersey from Tom Dumoulin, who fell off the pace in the final kilometers – finishing more than two minutes behind.
Frank finished second overall, just one second behind Peraud, with Machado third at 19 seconds.
“I have a sense of duty accomplished,” said Peraud. “The Criterium International was a little more open this year, and it it was an opportunity not to be missed.”
