Kristoffer Halvorsen won stage 3 of the Tour of Slovakia on Saturday afternoon in a dramatic late victory.

The Uno-X Pro Cycling rider took the lead from Alvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck-Quickstep) at the death for the win.

He did so under pressure from Kaden Groves (Team BikeExchange), and the finish was so tight that the Norwegian was forced to wait for the race commissaires to review the footage to decide on what initially appeared to be a dead heat.
