That meant they gained five seconds apiece on climbers such as Australian star Richie Porte who are lurking ahead of Sunday's summit finish at Willunga.
Bevin still leads Impey by seven seconds, while Porte is 26 seconds off the pace.
The New Zealander already had gained plenty of admirers after he took the race lead by winning stage two and managed to hold onto the ochre jersey.
The Weeknd posted two new songs — "Kiss Land" and "John Carpenter" — in a video to YouTube last night.
The songs are from the singer's upcoming album, Kiss Land, and the entire thing clocks in at 7 minutes and 41 seconds.
The second (and more exciting) half, "John Carpenter," shows him simultaneously boasting about his excess and self-policing his exploits.
It's pretty much impossible to avoid this getting stuck in your head.
"Have a good weekend! Make good choices, guys."
Galloway has been with the station since 2003, and was previously at WBAP/820 AM for almost 20 years.
Dan Bennett, vice president/market manager for Cumulus Dallas, says Cumulus has no plans to change the format or on-air staff. The station will retain a mix of national and local shows, but the LMA has led to speculation that changes could be coming to the local shows and that The Ticket could move to the 103.3 frequen...
Galloway said he believes that the stations will remain at their current homes.
He also said he hasn’t ruled out some sort of radio future. He said that Cumulus has not discussed his plans with him yet.
Galloway said ESPN’s national headquarters in Bristol, Conn., has been in touch with him about national radio and TV gigs after he retires, and he’s considering his options, but would only work on a part-time basis.
He declined to discuss his plans for his newspaper column, which he has been writing for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram since 1998. He previously wrote for The Dallas Morning News.

The president and general manager of the Kelowna Chiefs hockey club is in hospital.
Grant Sheridan took ill while with the team in Revelstoke where his Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club was taking on the Grizzlies in the third round of league playoffs.
According to a post on the team's Facebook page, Sheridan was admitted to hospital in Revelstoke where he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.
Sheridan was transported to hospital in Kamloops where he remains in the intensive care unit.
The statement says while Sheridan is showing overall improvement, there are still "several complications going on."
"Grant is in the best hands possible, and we ask to keep him in your prayers as he is in the fight of his life," the past continued.
The team is asking for privacy for his family as well as Chiefs players and staff.
2016 saw the rise of the citizen developer, blurring the lines between creators and users. How will this new breed impact the software development industry?
For IT developers, trying to keep up with demand for custom applications is a never-ending battle that often generates a large monthly backlog of unfulfilled requests. Citizen development platforms reduced backlog by 65 percent on average, compared to traditional development platforms, helping IT meet its service level...
Citizen developers are found in lines of business 79 percent of the time, according to the survey. Other areas where these app builders most commonly reside are central services (62 percent) and central IT (39 percent).
The spread of citizen development has created opportunities for IT and the business to collaborate — and ultimately build better apps to an exact set of specifications or process. This, in turn, drives higher operational efficiency and team productivity. According to survey respondents, a business-led collaboration met...
Though citizen developers use tools that don't require coding, not all are without technical ability. Application builders involved in citizen development have an expanding set of technical skills that enable them to create applications ranging from simple workflows to more mission-critical or externally facing applica...
A composite of lunar eclipse and “blood moon” Monday, April 14, 2014, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. Time spans from 11:22 p.m. on left to 12:24 a.m. on right.
A “supermoon” lunar eclipse will show it’s big, rouge face Sunday, more than three decades since it last pranced into the night sky.
Lunar eclipses usually happen at least twice a year, but supermoon lunar eclipses are rare, said Noah Petro, deputy project scientist for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
The last supermoon lunar eclipse appeared in 1982, and an encore performance won’t happen until 2033. There have been only five supermoon lunar eclipses since 1900, according to NASA.
“It’s something an entire generation may not have seen,” Petro said in a statement.
The total eclipse will last for one hour and 12 minutes on Sunday, according to NASA. A noticeable Earth shadow will edge into the moon’s light at 6:07 p.m., and the moon will be completely covered at 7:11 p.m.
The moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle, so it’s sometimes closer to Earth, Petro said.
The moon is some 31,000 miles closer to Earth at perigee than at apogee. That’s more than once around the circumference of Earth. Thus the moon will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter on Sunday than during an apogee full moon, according to NASA.
Although the supermoon lunar eclipse is rare, people don’t need to worry about freak occurrences, Petro said.
“The only thing that will happen on Earth during an eclipse is that people will wake up the next morning with neck pain because they spent the night looking up,” he said in a statement.

Hundreds have attended the funeral of a key commander of a Kashmiri resistance group, killed by Indian troops on Friday.
Soldiers shot dead Ghulam Rasul Dar alias Gazi Nasir-u-din, a senior commander of the Hizb al-Mujahidin and four others in a clash at Zainakote, on the edge of the summer capital Srinagar, an army spokesman said.
Dar, 47, was the group's leading commander in Kashmir after Pakistan-based supremo Sayed Salah ad-Din.
He had been active in the region for the past 14 years, constantly evading the security forces who placed him at the top of their list of "most wanted militants".
"Dar was killed along with Hizb al-Mujahidin's financial chief Fayaz Ahmad during a 30-minute long encounter," the spokesman said.
Indian army Brigadier A K Chaudhary described the killing as "a spectacular achievement".
Chaudhary, who heads Ten Rashtriya (National) Rifles - a counter insurgency wing of the Indian army - said his men had information about the presence of Dar and his close aide Fayaz Ahmad in a house on the outskirts of the summer capital Srinagar.
He said his men had ringed a house where the two were present and asked them to surrender. "Instead of giving up they fired at my men, who returned the fire killing both of them," he said.
Ahmad was identified as Hizbul's financial and publicity chief.
A prominent English daily newspaper, the Excelsior, claimed on Saturday however that the two were arrested by the security forces with the help of federal intelligence agencies and later killed in a "fake encounter."
"Field sleuths of the (intelligence) agencies and the communication equipment used by the militants are believed to have played a key role in arresting them," the newspaper said, quoting "extremely reliable sources in the state administration."
Security officials denied the allegations.
Dar, 47, had been a member of the political group Jamaat-e-Islami but joined Hizb al-Mujahidin in 1990, serving as district, divisional and later chief commander of operations.
Kashmiri youth for Hizbul and established hideouts throughout the rugged Himalayan region.
On the diplomatic front a top Kashmiri separatist, one of five due to hold the first high-level talks with India next week, said on Saturday the United States was facilitating the current peace process between India and Pakistan.
"Washington is making a sincere effort to improve relations between India and Pakistan and promote peace in the region," Umar Faruq, chief priest at Kashmir's main mosque, said.
During a regional summit in Pakistan earlier this week Indian and Pakistani leaders agreed to hold composite dialogue on all pending issues, including Kashmir, next month.
Faruq claimed that during his recent trip to New Delhi he met a US delegation which showed him a report on how Washington was facilitating talks between the two nuclear rivals.
"The process is moving forward on the same lines," he said, adding that the delegation had given the assurance that the "wishes and aspirations" of the Kashmiri people would not be ignored.
A national chain dedicated to reselling clothes has opened its first location in Dallas, in super-happening Deep Ellum.
The chain is Crossroads Trading Co., which sells (and serves as a traffic stop for customers to sell) gently used clothing for cash or trade. Their merchandise includes name-brand and designer clothing, which they profess to sell at a discount while keeping clothing out of landfill.
Crossroads was founded in San Francisco in 1991 by Jerry Block, a former executive with key competitor Buffalo Exchange, and Chip Gerken, with a goal of making secondhand clothing a viable alternative to traditional retail.
The Dallas store is at 2646 Main St., in a location that was previously occupied by Life of Riley, the charming gift and home shop, which moved in 2017 to new digs down the street.
According to a Crossroads representative, the Dallas store opened in mid-October. That gives them 37 locations, in major cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C.
They made their Texas debut in 2016 with the opening of a store in Houston.
They offer multiple ways to sell your clothes: You can go to the store, where they pay 33 percent of what they deem the item to be worth.
One super-convenient option is to drop your clothes off. Instead of waiting around for a busy clerk to evaluate, you leave your clothes and come back 24 hours later.
For higher end designer items such Chanel and Louis Vuitton, you can leave your clothes to be sold on consignment, and get a higher payout — from 50 to 70 percent in cash, depending on how expensive the item is.
One way they stand out slightly is that they feature a slightly larger selection of men's clothes than what you usually find.
Regardless of gender, they're looking for items in style, not vintage wear, and they won't accept damaged goods, even as small as a shirt missing a button. They also buy for the current season; some re-sale shops buy for the season ahead.
The brands they're currently seeking include Kate Spade, J Crew, Madewell, Topshop, Anthropologie, Lululemon, and Zara. But they won't take clothes from Old Navy, Forever 21, Target, or Walmart. Whoa, casting shade on Target, eh.
Items currently featured at their Dallas store include a dress by Free People for $22.50; a Marc Jacobs sweater in color-block earth tones for $28; glossy black leather booties in a size 8 by Sol Sana $37.50; and a pair of sunglasses for $12.

Have The Simpsons ‘predicted’ this year’s World Cup final?
Football fans have looked to an old Simpsons episode for an early prediction of which two sides will contest this year’s World Cup Final.
The ongoing tournament in Russia looks to be wide open at present, with some of the early favourites to win the trophy – including Brazil, Spain and France – having produced a set of unconvincing performances in their respective group games.
The current trajectory of the tournament has led some fans to consult an old episode of The Simpsons from November 1997 for some guidance on who might reach the final.
The season nine episode, The Cartridge Family, saw Mexico and Portugal contest a match which would “determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth” – check out the clip below.
The moment has been pulled up by fans following The Simpsons‘ recent strong track record with predicting real-life events, including Disney’s takeover of 20th Century Fox and the election of Donald Trump as US President.
The lay-out of this year’s tournament also means that Mexico and Portugal – who have both qualified for the knock-out stages – can only meet in the final, which will be held in Moscow on July 15.
NME have rounded up the best memes, mistakes and mad moments from the 2018 World Cup so far – check that out here.
Peter Binose: Fraud against the IMF, Argyle Airport?
KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, Sunday June 29, 2014 – For you all to consider that what I write is true to public records and political fact. Public records that are held in Grenada, and Micro Fiche copies in the US.
It worried me greatly when Ralph Gonsalves announced in Saint Vincent that he is here to finish the work of Maurice Bishop. I am still seeking an explanation of exactly what that statement means and what part of Bishops work Gonsalves wants to adopt?
We must remember that Gonsalves was very close to Bishop, shortly after the Marxist Grenada revolution, travelling with Bishop in his car and writing political speech’s for him. [its all a matter of public record, and a written record by Gonsalves himself] We know that Bishop was capable of writing his own speech’s but...
So when Gonsalves announced he is here to finish the work of dead Marxist, Maurice Bishop, I previously asked the question on several sites such as this, “what part or parts of Bishops work does he intend completing”. Is it some, is it a selection, or is it all?
Bishop did a lot of dreadful things, one of the things that Bishop did was undertake to obtain money fraudulently from the IMF and other lending institutes.
I am sure that Maurice Bishop was not the first and will not be the last MARXIST even non Marxist Caribbean leader or ruler to deceive the IMF.
Some present day governments today may well be using the same method. Falsifying finance figures, also tourism, agriculture, fishing, large project figures, even crime records, and other statistics. Whether CUBA still offers advice on how to do this is another consideration, even a question we should verociously ask. A...
On the advice of Russia and Cuba Maurice Bishop of Grenada had suggested to his party Central Committee how to overcome the IMF and World Bank requirements, by keeping two sets of books and records, so as to defraud the IMF.
