Giacomo Nizzolo si è aggiudicato la terza tappa del Tour de Wallonie 2012 (Marche en Famenne – Beaufays, 185.9km). Lo sprinter della RadioShack-Nissan ha battuto Mikhail Ignatiev (Team Katusha) e Gianni Meersman (Lotto-Belisol) in una volata ristretta.
Per Nizzolo si tratta del primo successo stagionale (il secondo assoluto tra i professionisti), che gli regala anche il primato in classifica generale.
Tra i più “attivi” in questa frazione sicuramente gli uomini dell’Acqua&SApone, in particolare Danilo Di Luca e Carlos Alberto Betancur. I due hanno provato più volte vari allunghi, che però hanno avuto poca fortuna. Di Luca è comunque giunto buon 4°.
Brutta caduta ai 100 metri finali, a farne le spese maggiori Michel Kreder (Garmin-Sharp) e Michael Barry (Team Sky).
