"Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara extended his overall lead in the Tour de France, winning the third stage and longest stage in a sprint finish Tuesday as cycling's showpiece event entered its home country.
The Swiss rider, who also won Saturday's prologue, finished the 147-mile ride from Waregem, Belgium, to Compiegne, northeast of Paris, in 6 hours, 36 minute, 15 seconds.
"I have no words after winning something like that," said Cancellara, who overtook four riders in the final stretch.
Erik Zabel of Germany was second and Danilo Napolitano of Italy was third"
