The Tour of Slovakia's third stage was won by Archie Ryan on Thursday, his first professional victory. The Jumbo Visma rider defeated Mauri Vansevenant of the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl in the final sprint, in order to book his victory.
"It was very tough, and that suits me," Ryan said. The rider continues, "It was a very difficult stage, it was a really hard day. The team rode really well, so I had it a bit easier because of that. The climbs were really tough, a lot of teams were trying hard to get rid of the yellow jersey."
Ryan used the final climb before the finish line to his advantage and maintained the lead along with other riders. "Actually, I don't really like cobblestones, but it was very tough and that suits me. It was quite steep, which suits me too. The guys did a great job, how they dropped me off at the foot of the climb. It's thanks to them that I'm winning here,” Ryan concluded.
His victory has helped him climb to the 5th position in GC, just 10 seconds behind overall leader Josef Cerný.

- Why make a comment to state the obvious? Of course MvdP is much better at CX than Pogacar, does anyone doubt that But that wasn't his pointvappaxbipmv23-12-2024
- If you look at road alone obvi Pogacar is the better rider. But maybe MVDP is the better overall rider since he can win in three plus disciplines?mobk23-12-2024

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024

- The point is obvious: MVDP can beat Tadej on CX/Road and Tadej cannot. What is so hard to understand???averagecyclist22-12-2024
