The UAE Team Emirates rider beat fellow countrymen Edwin Alcibiades Avila Vanegas (Israel Start-Up Nation) and Alvaro Jose Hodeg (Deceuninck-Quick-Step) into second and third respectively.
“Today’s stage was different from yesterday’s, since the altitude difference of the route was heavy and in the end it was felt in the legs of all the riders,” said Molano.
“I also felt sensations of fatigue, but I knew it was normal on a day of this type and I held on, and then made a good sprint.”
Jonathan Caicedo (EF Pro Cycling) retained the overall lead after the third stage.
