Stage 1 Time Trial won by Peter Kennaugh to take the yellow jersey.
Stage 2 won by Peter Kennaugh, arriving at the summit of Llangynidr mountain a good twenty seconds in front of the next rider. The bunch were together on the run into Llangynidr and blew apart on the final 4k at 8%
Stage 3 won by Luke Rowe after being away in a two man break for the entire stage.0
