As we read on CyclingUpToDate, perhaps the queen stage, the riders finally return to Oviedo in the final day of racing and although most of the day is flat, there is a very explosive finale.
Two climbs, one of 3.1 kilometers at 9.3% and another of 1Km at 8.9% make the finally very explosive and opens up he possibility for decisive gaps to be opened.
Stage 3: Benia de Onís - Oviedo, 144 kilometers

*** Isaac Del Toro, Rafal Majka

- Speaking of “Holland” or Denmark flat, isn’t it interesting that they can produce good climbers?Mistermaumau04-05-2025
- I believe I have a pretty good idea what they’re experimenting with. It’s something that won’t work with everyone but can work REALLY well with the right personality.Mistermaumau04-05-2025
- I suspect they have clock syncing problems, two of the IDs have a post at an identical 24:52 (this time format already indicates one problem) on May 4th this year even though those posts don’t show in the chronology of Latest Posts, which indicates they also have time stamp and chronology problems too. The automated information on the internet (time, date, stock market figures, calculations, conversions, etc. are notoriously prone to programming errors and being overlooked. It doesn’t help that virtually no website has a dedicated no-reply link for users to report errors simply without having to navigate opaque hidden general contact addresses or menus.Mistermaumau04-05-2025
- Nobody has unlimited money. At the best the team would be throwing a million to universities for studies. they dont have the werewithal to fund a Doping research lab exclusively for them. Also in UAE the only outlier is Pogi. The others are getting beaten pretty normally, they dont last until the end of the race either when helping out. There is no domination like first three from UAE teamabstractengineer04-05-2025
- Comments such as this is what Tadej is referring to when he says that social media is the cancer of our society.. And this guy even insists that "the conversation needs to happen". Well then, take your case to WADA sir, where such conversations are in urgent demand.FredMan04-05-2025
- Not remotely in the realm of possibility. Pharmaceutical companies spend billions (with a B) developing proprietary new drugs. There is absolutely no chance that a shadow company is exclusively developing a product for a few guys on one team in a minor sport that almost no one cares about. It sounds like you watch too many James Bond movies. Which might be better for you (and us) than speculating on something like this. UAE is doing what everyone else is doing, just a bit better. You have no idea what this is; nor do I; nor does anyone in this or any other comment section. If you don't like what you are watching, don't watch.
Barney04-05-2025 - My personal opinion is that UAE has a proprietary cocktail that isn't on the market and will probably never be on the market. It's happened before in sport. Look at BALCO and THG with the baseball situation. UAE could very well have their OWN scientists and chemists making a proprietary cocktail just for them. They have what I call "fk you money" which means UNLIMITED money. It's not out of the range of real possibilities. I've seen a few of your comments and decided to look and see what you've said in other articles. That led me to a few of your comments and I felt it would be ok to speak my opinion. Obviously my opinion doesn't go over very well with most but I've also seen people say "you are everything wrong with the sport" to you😂 and I thought maybe I can talk with this guy. You may not agree with me which is fine but the conversation needs to happen Cheers 🤘🏻🇬🇧
kaos03-05-2025 - I actually agree. Jonas and Visma put off altitude camp untill May I believe to help him closer to the TDF. I do also believe we will see Jonas retire suddenly and soon 🤘🏻🇬🇧kaos03-05-2025
- This is what I've been saying but nobody is wanting to listen. I don't know if I'm right but I'd like to see the spring classics season affect Pogi at the TDF 🤘🏻🇬🇧kaos03-05-2025
- I can't believe how naive some people are. You must be new to this sport. The history of doping is so entrenched in this sport. It's a very real thing and it didn't stop with Lance. You're absolutely crazy if you think this sport is "clean" 🤘🏻🇬🇧kaos03-05-2025
I'm confuse 😂
Someone once said/asked about the difficulty of understanding and following a thread here.
I just noticed the problem, it seems if you answer to a first or second level post, it’s clear who is speaking to who but on the third (I guess last) level, all posts are considered peers so if you answer to any third level post, your answer will show as third level too and people will have to search out which 3rd level post is replying to which other 3rd level post in that list.
To make it easier for everyone, I propose (and will try to adhere to) adding the name of the person when replying to a 3rd LP.
He'll be co-lead at GT's next year, if he keeps this up.
The boy is a true prodigy. I fully anticipate that he'll rise to number 2 in the UAE hierarchy by next year.
He will be what everybody thought Ayuso was going to be. Or so it seems
Seems everybody wants some upcoming newbie to be the next best thing. The first stage of compulsive betting disorder or a result of intensive gaming?
What’s wrong with just watching them all develop and see how they perform/turn out? Does it really matter to any of us who becomes the next star?
Obviously if you’re recruiting/poaching/selling etc. it will matter but we are only spectators, no?
My thoughts exactly. The difference between him and Juan is that he races more assertively. Plus he's a consummate teammate who happily sacrifices his own ambitions for the good of his team.
Ayuso is a fine racer, but I've never once seen him sacrifice his own ambition to help a teammate win.
I got to agree
Cycling is a bit weird in that respect, on the one hand we criticise some for not sacrificing to help a teammate, but then there are others who we never expect it of, why?
