Chad Haga was the only American who was able to stay in the 94-man peloton on Sunday and moved into ninth place for the overall standings as the Giro d’Italia wrapped up its three day start in the Netherlands. Haga was 87th, following up on a 147th finish in stage two, but showed that being in the peloton was the crucial thing in staying near the top after his strong time trial to begin the event. Haga is now 25 seconds behind the leader and the only American in the top 100.

After a rest day on Monday the competition resumes in Italy with a 124-mile medium-mountain stage on Tuesday as the field should start to separate.
