Farrar earns first sprint win

Garmin-Cervelo's Tyler Farrar won his first stage on the third day of the Tour de France. His team-mate, Thor Hushovd, retained the yellow jersey. 

Farrar triumphed after an effective lead-out started by Hushovd. HTC's Mark Cavendish was unable to contest the sprint after being caught up in a crash in the final kilometre. 

The standings after three stages see Hushovd lead le Tour by the smallest of margins, but favourites Alberto Contador and the Schleck brothers are looking for around a minute after being delayed by a crash on the opening day.
