Over the 5.98-kilometre test - which like most stages on the event featured both gravel and asphalt - Lukyanuk was 4.7 seconds quicker than anyone else. The Russian will take a lead of 1m35.5s in the final day's four stages.

Ralfs Sirmacis was second fastest and 2.3s quicker than Marijan Griebel, but is 41.6s behind the ERC Junior champion overnight.
