N2 - We study the second moment of Dirichlet L-functions to a large prime modulus q twisted by the square of an arbitrary Dirichlet polynomial. We break the [Formula presented]-barrier in this problem, and obtain an asymptotic formula provided that the length of the Dirichlet polynomial is less than q51/101=q1/2+1/202. As an application, we obtain an upper bound of the correct order of magnitude for the third moment of Dirichlet L-functions. We give further results when the coefficients of the Dirichlet polynomial are more specialized.
