Starting in south-central Sardinia in Barumini, near the famous ancient archeological site of Nuraghe su Nuraxi, Stage 3 loops south-east to the seaside, then races west to finish in Cagliari, where the tricky run-in through the city and the final 400 metres over rough pavé favours Predictor's Rockin' Robbie McEwen. After the stage, it's all-aboard as the Giro d'Italia caravan will transfer to the Italian mainland.
