One of the new faces at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe in 2025, former UAE Team Emirates rider Finn Fisher-Black is making a positive start to life in his new colours. After three stages, the Kiwi is leading his team's general classification challenge at the Tour Down Under.
Getting his first podium under the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe banner, Fisher-Black crossed home in 3rd on stage 3 of the 2025 Tour Down Under, just 5 seconds down on stage winner and new race leader. Movistar Team's Javier Romo. "It was a much anticipated day today, especially knowing beforehand that it would be a crucial GC stage. The intensity was high, and there was no moment to relax," Fisher-Black recalls afterwards in a team press release. "The team did an excellent job of keeping me at the front throughout the day, with everyone playing a key role."
With the final climb providing the first GC test of the race, the 23-year-old has been left very happy with the form shown. "In the final lap, Danny van Poppel did an incredible job getting over the last climb, and then Laurence Pithie and Ben Zwiehoff ensured that I was perfectly positioned heading into the final ascent. I started the last climb in fifth wheel, which gave me the ideal setup to focus on my effort," he concludes. "From there, it was all about following the wheels and seeing what I could do in the finale."
