Stage 3 of the 2026 Vuelta a España is in the books. The final results and standings are below, followed by our recap of how the race unfolded.
Race Recap
The stage was cancelled when the riders were 15km from the finish due to a fierce hail and rainstorm that threatened the security of the riders.
There had been a six-rider break earlier in the stage, which featured Ethan Hayter (SOQ). The Briton won the intermediate sprint to take the outright lead in the points competition. At the top of the Col de Mont-Louis, Mats Wenzel (EKP) and Lorenzo Fortunato (XAT) disputed the KoM points on the cat 1 ascent, but the TV link went down just before they reached the summit. It's not yet clear whether these results will count towards the overall classification.
