After a great climbing battle on stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos, Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM) emerged victorious, dropping everyone on the brutal, foggy slopes of the Puerto del Escudo to win solo by an 11-second margin.
Lidl-Trek kicked off the action on the 7km ascent which averaged 9% gradients, with Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) first attacking 4.5km from the summit. He was countered by 20-year-old Pablo Torres (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) before Gall's Decathlon team started leading him out.
