It was the queen stage of the Vuelta a Burgos, finishing up the steep Lagunas de Neila ramps (4.2 km at 10.95%), set to decide the GC winner.<\/p>\n

\"\"Vuelta a Burgos stage 5 2025 profile<\/p>\n

Leo Bisiaux started the day in the GC lead, holding a 22\u201326 second advantage over his closest rivals: Giulio Pellizzari, Isaac Del Toro, and Lorenzo Fortunato. Giulio Ciccone, however, had crashed on stage 1 after being taken out by Del Toro in the final kilometre, losing over a minute. That did not stop Lidl\u2013Trek from pacing hard for the Italian\u2019s chance at a stage win.<\/p>\n

With 3 km to go, Del Toro and Ciccone attacked, and no one could follow. Ciccone in the last kilometre accelerated away from Del Toro, proving the fastest up Lagunas de Neila with 6.51 \u1d49W\/kg for 14:35 on the steep section of the climb, 35 seconds slower than the record from this side, set by Jose Maria Jimenez in the 1998 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Del Toro claimed his third GC victory and ninth pro win of 2025, while Ciccone, without his stage 1 crash, would likely have been the true overall winner. Bisiaux, up against top competition, finished 3rd in GC and 11th on the stage.<\/p>\n
