Cycling: American Talansky takes stage and yellow jersey

American rider Andrew Talansky of the Garmin team won the third stage of the Paris-Nice on Wednesday and took the overall lead after a six-man breakaway held off the peloton following 170.5km between Chatel-Guyon and Brioude. The 24-year-old Miami native edged out escape partners Davide Malacarne of Italy and Spaniard Gorka Izagirre on a wet afternoon as he picked up his biggest career win and also took the overall lead. "We didn't take too many risks during the final descent and I stayed well on the wheel of Richie Porte," explained Talansky.
