WiV-SunGod rider Ben Perry is the new leader of the Tour of Britain following stage 3 after UCI commissaires amended the stage's time gaps several hours after the race.

Having previously been second and on the same time overall as Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech), he leads the New Zealander by seven seconds in the updated general classification.
