Another trouble-free day for Team Visma | Lease a Bike in Critérium du Dauphiné
From the start in Brioude, the pace was incredibly high and that didn’t change during the day. Three categorized climbs in the opening phase of the third stage made it possible for a large group of riders to escape from the peloton. After the ascent of the Côte du Château Jaune in the final part of the stage, it became clear that the attackers were going to battle for the day’s victory and the lead in the general classification.Iván Romeo’s late attack turned out to be the decisive one and therefore he is also the new leader of the Critérium du Dauphiné. Team leader Jonas Vingegaard passed the finish together with the favorites in the peloton behind and is now eleventh in the general classification.
“It was a really tough stage today”
sports director Grischa Niermann
“It was a tough day, with high temperatures. A strong leading group formed and ultimately stayed ahead. That’s never quite ideal of course, but the situation in the general classification is still fine”, sports director Grischa Niermann says.Tomorrow, a time trial of over seventeen kilometres is scheduled. The race against the clock is mostly on flat roads, but has a short but steep climb halfway through. Niermann looks ahead: “We have two good time trialists in the team with Jonas and Matteo, but we are not the favorite tomorrow. I hope we ride a strong time trial and then we will see what the baseline is towards the days that follow.”
