2024 Criterium du Dauphine stage 3 GC Update: Derek Gee into Maillot Jaune as Primoz Roglic drops off podium
Cycling
Stage 3 of the Criterium du Dauphine offered another uphill finale in the fight for the general classification. Magnus Cort Nielsen started the day in the yellow jersey, followed by Primoz Roglic and Matteo Jorgenson, but that's not how things ended.
Although the breakaway held the lead for much of the stage, it was caught 2.5 km from the finish, but even that didn't motivate the fight for the overall. It was Derek Gee who ended up taking the victory ahead of the overall favourites. With the victory, the Israel - Premier Tech rider is the new leader of the general classification, replacing Magnus Cort Nielsen. The Uno-X Mobility rider is now in 2nd place, 3 seconds down on Gee. Romain Grégoire, 2nd on the day, closes the provisional Top 3 overall with a difference of 4 seconds to the yellow jersey. Primoz Roglic thus drops two places to 4th, 7 seconds behind the leader.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, Matteo Jorgenson moves from 3rd to 5th overall, 9 seconds behind the leader and only 2 seconds behind Roglic. Lukas Nerurkar of EF Education-EasyPost is the surprise of the classification with his 6th position. Bruno Armirail is 7th, Clément Champoussin takes 8th position, Giulio Ciccone is 9th, and Carlos Rodriguez closes the top-10.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
