Ethan Vernon wins the third stage of the Guangxi Tour from Jingxi to Bama, 214 km.

The two third category climbs, located in the final part of the race, do not create any selection in the group, which heads towards the third sprint in a compact group.

With 8 km to go, Reinderink and De Bondt , the two escapees of the day, are caught. The sprint is launched by the men of Bahrain-Victorius, but Molano comes out with perfect timing on the left of the road, but Vernon catches up with him and beats him on the finish line. Third place for Pickrell.

It is worth mentioning the withdrawals of Narvaez, Stuyven, Plapp, Vader, Honorè and Buchmann, due to falls in the first part of the stage.
