Romeo\u2019s victory was built on a clear approach from the start of the decisive phase. After helping to split the race on the Pico Muralla, he remained active in the front group before choosing his moment to go solo.<\/p>\n

The move came after a series of accelerations had already reduced the race to a small group of contenders, allowing him to take advantage of hesitation behind and commit fully to his effort. \u201cSuper happy to finish off the team\u2019s work like this today,\u201d he added, pointing to the collective effort that set up the winning move.<\/p>\n

Movistar momentum builds<\/p>\n

The win continues a strong run for Movistar Team, following Carlos Canal\u2019s victory on Stage 2.<\/p>\n

In the final, the team again played a key role, with Canal stepping aside on the decisive climb to allow Romeo to take his chance. \u201cCarlos said he wasn\u2019t feeling good and that he gave me the green light,\u201d Romeo explained.<\/p>\n

The decision proved crucial, allowing Romeo to commit fully at the front without hesitation as the race split apart.<\/p>\n

Romeo secured the win on stage 3<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last month has been very complicated\u201d<\/p>\n

The performance carries added significance given Romeo\u2019s recent struggles. After crashes and a lack of continuity, the Spaniard admitted he did not expect to be at this level so soon. \u201cThe last month has been very complicated and I didn\u2019t expect to be this good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

That contrast was evident in the aftermath, with the victory marking not just a result, but a return to confidence after a difficult period.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong position gained on Stage 3, Romeo was clear that the general classification was not a priority heading into the race. \u201cI didn\u2019t have the general classification in mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With two stage wins already secured by the team, the pressure has shifted. \u201cWith two wins we can already go home happy and everything that comes will be positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romeo\u2019s victory in Padr\u00f3n not only confirms his resurgence, but also reinforces the momentum building within O Gran Cami\u00f1o<\/a> as the race heads into its final stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Romeo\u2019s victory was built on a clear approach from the start of the decisive phase.
