Javier Romo is the new leader of the Tour Down Under 2025 after winning the third stage of the Australian race. Thus, the Movistar Team rider ousted from the first place of the race to Sam Welsford, who logically in the first hard stage has cracked.
Thus, the rider from Villafranca de los Caballeros is first with a couple of hard days still to be disputed (tomorrow final in Victor Harbor with leg-breaking terrain and, above all, on Saturday on the mythical Willunga Hill). Very close to him will be his rivals for the final ochre on Sunday in Adelaide: Jhonatan Narvaez (he has looked very strong and is 8 seconds behind), Patrick Konrad (10 seconds behind) or Finn Fisher-Black (10 seconds behind). Bastien Tronchon closes the top 5 at 12 seconds.
Then there is a large group of up to 13 riders who are 15 seconds behind in the general classification such as Magnus Sheffield, Jay Vine, Oscar Onley, Luke Plapp, Afonso Eullálio and several more. Everything is still to be decided in the first WorldTour race of 2025. What we do know is that riders like Alberto Bettiol, Laurence Pithie and Marc Soler - initially contenders for the overall win - have lost minutes and will not be in this fight.
