Elliott, 32, the British road race champion, gained three seconds after winning a designated sprint about 86 miles into the 115-mile stage from Port Deposit to Hagerstown, won by the German amateur Sven Teutenberg in 5hr 56min 29sec. Elliott, who won two stages and finished sixth last year, claimed his bonus time on the second of the race's two bonus sprints having misjudged the first.
