“It’s unchartered territory but I’m looking forward to it" - Derek Gee takes control of Maillot Jaune after O Gran Camiño time trial
Cycling
Israel - Premier Tech's Derek Gee turned the general classification of O Gran Camiño 2025 on its head after the stage 3 individual time trial. The Canadian took the stage win and took control of the Maillot Jaune from Magnus Cort Nielsen in the process.
“Really, really happy,” he says in his post-stage quotes posted to his team's official website afterwards. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to deliver on what was the expectation from the team – and myself – going into today, so I’m really happy. We did some work on the TT bike over the winter and I wanted to start the year strongly in the discipline.”
"This TT holds a special place in my heart because in 2022 my result in this race’s time trial is what helped me get my first pro contract. It was a hard one then and it was another hard one today!” Gee adds. “It’s unchartered territory but I’m looking forward to it. Tomorrow will be a super hard stage and then the last day could be chaos! Magnus did a great TT today and there are a couple of guys here who are really, really good climbers, so it’s going to be interesting.”

- 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
