Team Jayco AlUla's Paul Double has won the queen stage of the Tour of Guangxi and has set ground for the overall win this Sunday in the Chinese race which will close out the calendar. The Briton won the summit finish to Nongla and has become the new race leader with a strong performance.
The UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider didn't want to chase Paul Double, who had attacked earlier, 2.4 kilometers from the finish with Mikkel Honoré, to get away with it. It was a strong attack that was ultimately not possible to bring back the Briton's pace was simply superior to that of his rivals, and the 29-year-old Jayco AlUla rider took the win at the top of the climb. Double crossed the finish line alone to become the new overall leader as Paul Magnier had been dropped earlier.
As for the other candidates, Cian Uijtdebroeks crossed the finish line 5th, just ahead of Jhonatan Narvaez. Victor Lafay was second, 15 seconds behind Paul Double who finished exhausted. The Top 3 of the day was closed by Mikkel Honoré,.

- All these whiners. Cycling has never had more money and success than now. They just covet others' money and will stamp their feet like children until they get it. They don't want to have to compete and make their sponsors happy in order to profit. -An Economistacem8216-11-2025

- I wonder how much this has to do with the fact that top riders can become quite wealthy these days, vs what pros like RDV and Eddy earned back in their day? Seems like jealousy. Pog is world famous, very few outside Benelux even heard of RDV…Crashjames16-11-2025

- If we look at the major wins of grand tours, monuments, and world championships, then de Vlaeminck is sitting on a total of 11, all of them monuments, and Van der Poel is sitting on a total of 9 (8 monuments and a world championship). If we add cyclocross, well, we have stats there, too. (Pogacar, tied with Coppi at 17 total grand tours, monuments, and world championships, is way beyond de Vlaeminck by now.) Sometimes I think that what's happening is a guy was astonishing in what is by now his long-gone youth, and has waited decades for someone to surpass him, got used to the idea that nobody would (other than his buddy Eddie who was never normal anyway), and now this upstart Pogacar and this narrow-focused Van der Poel show up, doing things de Vlaeminck and Merckx never dreamed of (like winning 14 of the last 16 monuments between just 2 people) and suddenly he has to recognize that his decades of being on top might not mean what they used to mean. That has to be hard on anyone.RidesHills15-11-2025
