Overview

• Romeo launched a decisive attack five kilometres from the finish to drop Mathieu van der Poel and win stage 3.
• His solo triumph awarded him the overall lead and his first yellow jersey in a WorldTour event.
• His 193-centimetre build helped him sustain the power needed on rolling terrain to secure the win.
• Movistar Team’s measured development strategy has positioned Romeo as a stage-hunter prospect for the Tour de France.
• With the Tour de France starting in 24 days, his Dauphiné performance will serve as an early indicator of his stage-hunting form.
