Criterium du Dauphiné 2025 GC Update | All change in the Top 10 on stage as Ivan Romeo takes the Yellow Jersey
Cycling
Stage 3 of the 2025 Criterium du Dauphiné has seen big changes in the general classification and yet another rider take hold of the Yellow Jersey following Tadej Pogacar and Jonathan Milan.
Milan had started stage 3 in the Maillot Jaune, but as the Italian powerhouse struggled on the climbs he was forced to give up the race lead relatively early on. In the end, the fight for both the stage win and the lead of the race came down to battle between the breakaway, with Movistar Team's Ivan Romeo emerging with a double success.
As a result, the Spaniard now holds 17 seconds lead on Louis Barre in the GC, with Harold Tejada 3rd at 18 seconds down. Florian Lipowitz made perhaps the most important move of the day though, as the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader got himself up the road and now finds himself 4th overall at 24 seconds, narrowly ahead of Mathieu van der Poel at 29 seconds.
Completing the top 10 are Brieuc Rolland (+37), Andreas Leknessund (+37), Eddie Dunbar (+39), before the pre-race favourite Tadej Pogacar in 9th (1:06) and Fred Wright in 10th (1:12).

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
