Hello and welcome to highlights of stage three of welter feminas from valet de vald deano to the summit finish at peon blanco riders in great spirits at the start lots time on stage two she’ll be gunning for the stage today former winner Juliet Labuz of FDJ sewer she would go as a protective rider UAE’s Ellena Baxstead cheerleading as always they rolled out of silo with 95 km ahead of them. 24,046 m of climbing and with it came two category 3 climbs early on in the day at 7873 km to go. Intermediate sprint at 38 to go at Medina de Palomar. The climb of Alto Deacos a summit of that coming with 20 km to go and then up the savage slopes of Picon Blanco. 7.8 8 km averaging just over 9% but maxing out at 18 to 19%. The flag was dropped. Early breakaways gave way to a group containing Anastasia Kislava, Paola Blassie, Anna Reverse, Sylvia Zinardi, Allison Jackson, Catalina Sto Campos, and Alicia Gonzalez. They had a minute and 41 seconds with 25 km to go. The gap was reducing to the breakaway group. The climb of the Alto de Bacos ahead of them. It was a tough climb and the draw of the run towards the final climb of the day. A lot for the Pelaton behind. It was a 2.8 km climb averaging 6.4%. Mauvi Stars Floria Mai was driving the Pelaton behind. Lorenna Vibas on the wheel along with Little TX Clark Pony and Elisa Balsamo. As they hit the slopes of the climb one by one, the riders were dropped. Nastia Kolislava taking maximum points in the Queen of the Mountains ahead of Blassie Jackson and Stoampos. Behind Alisa Longa Bulgini was not far away from the front of the bunch. They started to descent. 50 seconds was the time gap. They were heading towards Espinosa Delos Montteros. the small town at the foot of the Peon Blanco. And as always, the battle ensued to be the last rider standing from the breakaway. Glorony coming through. But as they hit the town, it was Paola Patino of Moistar, teammate of Marlon Royster who had gone into the day second on the general classification behind Mia Bond Ottoat of Uno X. She was in the purple jersey as race leader. Patino though was shredding the group down and it really would come down to a who’s who of talent for the general classification here in Valter Burgos. The UNOX rider, the champion of Norway was doing a valiant display to defend her jersey. Alise Shab was setting the tempo on the front for Juliet Labus, but it did prove to be just a little bit too much for the French champion. With 4.4 km to go, Marlon Royer made her move and unfortunately that would spell the end of the day in the group for the race leader. Only Yara Castasterine Anelise Shab were able to stay with the Swiss rider from Maui Star when she accelerated the Peacon Blanco climb absolutely savage 7.8 8 km in length, the maximum slopes of 18%. It’s a really inconsistent climb. Tough to find your rhythm on. Lot Capeki unfortunately getting dropped from the group. We just be trying to limit her losses in the general classification. Elisa Longo Bulgini had been on the front of the group behind Roya drove for home just inside 2 km to go. She managed to distance Yara Castelline. They had started today second and 10th on the general classification. And with an individual time trial to come on the final day tomorrow, Marlon Royster was riding herself into the race leaders jersey and with it a potential victory in for Burgos. It was through the final turns towards the finish, but the day belonged to Switzerland and team Maui Star. A win for Marlon Royster for the Spanish team. A great climb from Yara Castasterine of the Fenex Darnic team. She finished second and with that she moved up to second on the general classification. Alisa Long Bulini comes home for third place. That puts her in third in the general classification with tomorrow’s individual time trial to come. Amanda Sprat and Petrus Dias the next two riders to cross the line just ahead of Elise Shab Lapeki. Another brave ride from the world champion finished the day just over 2 minutes and 20 seconds down on the stage winner Marlon Roya came into Mobby Star this season to lead the team. She had shown what form she is in the recent welter and delivers on Peon Blanco. Marlon Royceer takes the stage ahead of Yara Castellan, Lisa Long, Gabborini, Spratz, Diast, Shab, Cavalar, Tomat, Molati, and Laboose your top 10. Marlon Royer stands on the top step of the podium. A great stage win. Our general classification now looks like this. Marlon Royer lead by a minute and 10 seconds. Elisa Longa Bulgini at 143. Sprat, Shab, Cavalar, Marcotti, Labus, Ottoat, Bonito, and in our top 10, Marlon Royce will defend the purple jersey of race leader tomorrow. And it is a 9.41 km individual time trial. It’s a fairly flat affair. It should be well within the skill set of Marlon Royster who has one of the fastest time trialists in the world. But look out for at least a long roadie Chapman or perhaps Zoe Backstead for a time trial stage win on the final day. Join us for more action at stage four of Welter Bergos tomorrow.

Brazil watching…hi my friends..
Stage 3
Love it. Awesome race. Watch it all from West palm beach Florida USA. See you guys at the TT.
looking like this, I don't think Lotte should even be thinking about being a team leader in TDFF
Typical TNT. They label it Stage 3.
A woman racing a bicycle is like a dog walking on its ind legs. The thing is not done well, but the astonishing thing is that it's done at all.
Love seeing Reusser leading the race!
That GC has to be done if there is no disaster.
SDWorx has all the talent, no strategy.
This will kill them in the TDF. 🤞
I am going to complain. Men sprint stages get more coverage than women mountain stages. Mountain stages, for me, are more exciting and enjoyable to watch than sprint stages.
sooooooooo …. they just not going to fix this. THIS IS NOT STAGE 1!!!
Whoever typed "Stage 1" must be sleeping off a bad drunk.
Hopp Schweiz!! ♥️🇨🇭♥️🇨🇭♥️
Guys – we need to build a podium for the winner.
Nah: just use this beer crate, it'll be fine.
Bravo Marlene Reusser, she is such an inspiring person and her performance is impressive!!
