David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) rounded Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) in the final metres to pull off a surprise win on an undulating stage 3 of the 2025 Vuelta a España to Ceres.
Lidl-Trek had controlled the entire stage, putting on a fierce pace throughout in the hope of stinging the legs of the fastest sprinters. Pedersen enjoyed a perfect lead-out from Giulio Ciccone in the final few hundred metres, only to be pipped to the line by Gaudu, with red jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) in third place, continuing his lead overall.
