Stage 3 of the Criterium du Dauphiné was the one day of the race where things seemed to pan out for the pure sprinters, however they were surprised as Christophe Laporte soared to his second stage win of the week.
The Jumbo-Visma sprinter benefited from the combination of great legs in the sprint alongside perfect timing. Sam Bennett was the first sprinter to make his bid for the line, and as he moved slightly to the right where Dylan Groenewegen was, Laporte surged through the left side to take a masterful win in the yellow jersey.

- Your position would hold water were it not for the completely anomalous bidon on a very short TT stage. No one else carried water, there was no rational reason to carry water, and the so-called "conspiracy theory" actually makes sense.verve82513-06-2025
- So true. His tally from ONLY half a season would be a dream career for many cyclists. Eight wins - two of them monuments and multiple podiums as well. It's funny how the cycling media needs a story so bad that they jump on any slightest signs of "weakness" from Pogi, Jonas, or Remco. Example after 2023 some commentators were basically writing Pogi off for the next TdF and saying the only reason he was attempting the Giro Tour double was so he could win a "consolation" GTmobk12-06-2025
- Too much pressure. This poor, super-talented boy can't "just" be Top 5 in a TT stage without the "experts" starting to question him. What he won in the spring races would be the dream of any pro-cyclist to consider his ENTIRE career successful... Let him alone.
maria2024202412-06-2025 - I can imagine this take, simply because it's so common in other forms of racing, like auto racing outside F1. The water bottle is the one that made no sense to me. The rest could be what UAE said, but a water bottle on a 20km TT? Huh.RidesHills12-06-2025
- For me shorter cranks (165) feel better on the knees. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but it feels realmobk12-06-2025

- I prefer Occam's Razor. He said he didn't train in TT much due to the spring campaign. It's a good and simple explanation. He's Tadej, why should he resort to this sort of scheme?
