Welcome to live coverage of stage three of the Giro d'Italia, a 190km loop in and around the Danish coastal town of Horsens.

Thanks for joining us - and see you on Wednesday after the rest day for the TTT in Verona.

A superb win for Goss - GreenEdge's first in grand tours - but it was a finish marred by that huge pile up. Expect a lot of fall-out from that one...

Phinney enters an ambulance on the finish line, but he has emerged and will cross the line to complete the stage.

Phinney is still not up. He looks to have a problem with his ankle. He will need to cross the line unaided if he wants to continue the race.

Replays of the crash show Cavendish just getting into his stride before Roberto Ferrari sweeps in front and takes out his front wheel.

Goss took the win from Haedo and Farrar.

A debut grand tour win for Orica GreenEdge in a sprint marred by that big spill. Cavendish is up on his feet and walking over the line with his bike, covered in road rash. Phinney is still down.

BIG CRASH: Cavendish goes down and brings a whole load of riders with him, including pink jersey Taylor Phinney. Matthew Goss powers clear to take the win!

GreenEdge are now on the front, with the other favourites right behind. Cavendish in Demare's wheel...

Cavendish is sitting behind Mark Renshaw. Old habits die hard... we're approaching the kite.

Saxo have three on the front, but Sky once again muscle in, with Thomas and Kennaugh.

Sky form their train again, before Colnago have a dig to mix things up. Hushovd and GreenEdge move up too.

Astana have disappeared as Liquigas take it ip on the left-hand side of the peloton. Rabobank's Dennis van Winden, who crashed yesterday, has sat up and will coast to the finish. His team-mates are on the front now, riding for Mark Renshaw.

It's an Astana-Sky battle on the front as they pass the 4-to-go banner. Cavendish looks pretty calm and relaxed. He has Hunter on his wheel, working for Garmin team-mate Farrar.

Now Astana come to the front, for their man Gasparotto.

Omega Pharma are trying to bring Chicchi closer to the front. Positioning is so important in sprint finishes like this. Sky use their muscle to totally dominate the front now.

Saxo Bank are joined by GreenEdge. Goss and Haedo the sprinters in question. Sky are there, of course, while Euskaltel are right on the back, of course.

It's getting a bit fiesty on the front. Taylor Phinney and Ivan Basso are right up there, as are Frank Schleck and Michele Scarponi. These GC men don't want to be caught out on this final day in Denmark.

Colnago and Orica GreenEdge are nearing the front too, for their men Modolo and Goss. Saxo Bank and Liquigas are there too.

Sky have five riders leading out Cavendish at the moment as Bak is swept up by the bunch.
