The <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/vuelta-a-burgos\" title=\"Vuelta a Burgos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vuelta a Burgos<\/a> takes the riders through the hilly and mountainous terrain necessary to prepare for the final Grand Tour of the season whilst also helping the riders adapting to the weather conditions. We <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/preview\" title=\"Preview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">preview<\/a> stage 3.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 3 of the race is a day that is not easy to predict or control. The organizers have decided to put in a difficult mountain stage but with the climbs far from the finish, which could create some interesting race scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving Monasterio de San Pedro de Carde\u00f1a the riders will find mostly flat roads but this will change in the final third of the stage. There will be three small but steep climbs inside the final 55 kilometers before the main ascent of the day which will contribute to the fatigue and potentially set the terrain for attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The main climb will be that of Puerto de Ordu\u00f1a, 8.1 kilometers at 7.3% which finish with 22 kilometers to go. It&#8217;s a hard climb where differences can be made, but the issue is that after a small descent there are a lot of flat kilometers where the attacks may not stop. It should be a tactical finale, with a small uphill drag to the line in Valpuesta can also prove to be quite interesting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/profile-vueltaaburgos2025stage3-688ca027684e6.png@webp.webp\" class=\"w-auto\" alt=\"Profile_VueltaABurgos2025stage3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Stage 3: Monasterio de San Pedro de Carden\u00f1a &#8211; Valpuesta, 184.8 kilometers<\/p>\n<p>Prediction Vuelta a Burgos 2025 stage 3:<\/p>\n<p>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/isaac-del-toro\" title=\"Isaac del Toro\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isaac del Toro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/giulio-pellizzari\" title=\"Giulio Pellizzari\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giulio Pellizzari<\/a><br \/>** <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/giulio-ciccone\" title=\"Giulio Ciccone\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giulio Ciccone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/egan-bernal\" title=\"Egan Bernal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Egan Bernal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/roger-adria\" title=\"Roger Adri\u00e0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Roger Adri\u00e0<\/a><br \/>* Lorenzo Fortunato, Harold Mart\u00edn L\u00f3pez, Mikel Landa, Damiano Caruso, Jai Hindley, Davide Piganzoli, Jefferson Alveiro Cepeda, Carlos Verona, Javier Romo, Afonso Eul\u00e1lio, L\u00e9o Bisiaux, Damien Howson<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Isaac del Toro<\/p>\n<p>How: Ordinarily Ciccone would be just as much of a favourite as Del Toro but he seemed to suffer some more consequences. But the flat finale makes it tactical and a lot can be down to luck and tactics, not the legs.
