EISENACH: Kasper Asgreen claimed victory on the third and penultimate stage of the Tour of Germany in Eisenach on Saturday as Belgian Jasper Stuyven grabbed the overall lead.

Denmark's Asgreen, who won the Tour of California in May, edged out Stuyven after the pair had broken clear near the end of the 189km ride from Goettingen.

The Deceuninck Quick-Step man and Trek-Segafredo's Stuyven finished 17 seconds ahead of a group of 15 riders.

Sunday's final stage keeps the peloton in the Thuringian forest with an undulating course to Erfurt.
