Groupama-FDJ rider Gaudu caught Belgian Van Aert in a sprint finish but the Team Jumbo–Visma rider claimed the leader's yellow jersey after the mid-mountain stage concluding at an altitude of 1,396 metres.

Overnight race leader Alexis Vuillermoz of France was left behind with 2.5km to go after the 169km ride from Saint-Paulien.

Gaudu, 11th in the Tour de France last year, claimed his ninth victory and second of the season after a stage in the Tour of Algarve in Portugal.

The survivors of the day's breakaway, Pierre Rolland, Jonas Gregaard and Sebastian Schonberger were joined at the foot of the final climb, a 6.2-kilometre slog with a gradient of 5.6 percent.

Wednesday's fourth stage is a relatively flat 31.9km time-trial from Montbrison to La Batie d'Urfe.
