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).
