UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Jay Vine has taken a stunning solo victory on stage 3 of the 2025 Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali in Cesena.
Four riders managed to get themselves in the breakaway of the day, those being Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost), Pascal Eenkhoorn (Soudal - Quick-Step), Marcel Camprubí (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) and Alexander Konychev (Team Vorarlberg). By 34km to go though, the entirety of the break had been swallowed up by the peloton.
The next attack came in the form of a two-man move from Jay Vine and Mauri Vansevenant. As they reached the summit of the final climb of the day, the Diolaguardia, Vansevenant was caught by the chase group behind, although it the UAE man Vine took maximum points and carried on solo into the final 10km. Into the last 5km and Vine was still around 18 seconds clear, with the Aussie's hopes of victory looking good. In the end there was no stopping Vine as he soloed all the way to the win ahead of Magnus Sheffield and Simone Velasco from the chase group behind.

- Jonas is a very solid descender. Remember him waiting for Pog when Pog crashed on a descent in 2022mobk05-05-2025
- For Pogi's first win against Jonas, he had a very subpar team relative to Jumbo. I don't think Jonas would have stood a chance if he had Pogi's team that year.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- He descended very well at the TdF last year after the first couple stages with technical descents.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- The funny thing about all of this is that Pogi can(that doesn't mean he definitely will) win the TdF while it's only one of many goals. Jonas is fully focused on the TdF. Yes, he does other races but they're solely in preparation for the TdF. Jonas is great, but much of the reason he has a fighters chance is that Pogi isn't a rider that's fully focused on stage races.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- Yates- when he is on - is pretty awesome to watch.
ScottG05-05-2025 - Jonas is afraid of crashing. That's not easy to shake. I think that fear has only gotten worse over the years.ScottG05-05-2025
- Healy will also be a contender in the hilly classics. That's it though.ScottG05-05-2025
- It remains a team sport, and either teams or injuries have determined the outcomes since 2022. In '22, UAE lost many team members due to covid, earlier than Jumbo Visma did, and that left Pogacar unprotected. In '23, Pogacar was injured at Liege, and that affected his training. In '24, Vingegaard was injured, Kuss and van Aert were a shadow of their '22 selves, and Roglic was gone from the team. So the question is, can Yates, Almeida, Novak, and the rest protect Pogacar, and will Kuss and the rest show up as they need to? Sure, it's the last climb that pits the two superstars against each other, and Pogacar (as we've seen with van der Poel) doesn't always win when he's got a challenger there. This year, if Vingegaard's concussion hasn't affected things too much, I think it will come down to the teams they bring.RidesHills05-05-2025
- I wonder if they meant "uphill sprinting like Roglic is known for." Probably not, but maybe?RidesHills05-05-2025
- Yates-Ayuso cage match? Could be interesting.mobk05-05-2025
