Aaron Gate (Bolton Equities Black Spoke Pro Cycling) soared to victory on stage 3 of the Tour de Luxembourg, jumping on a late attack to steal a march on the sprinters. 

The decorated New Zealand track rider won the Commonwealth Games road race last month and continued his run of road form with a devastating late move in Diekirch.
