In an edition loaded with desert, navigation and sand, the third stage was pure mountain.<br>\u00a0In fact, today&#8217;s stage is called \u0160koda We Love Cycling. It does so by a timed mountain section that rewards 60 seconds to the rider who completes the climb the fastest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the terrain where cyclists with road cycling experience tend to do best. Where the expertise on the climb compensates for the possible deficit in mountain bike technique that they may have. And that&#8217;s exactly what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrey Amador and Luis \u00c1ngel Mat\u00e9, two WorldTour riders, were the big winners of the day. Always moving close to the front, the two riders shared the lead group with Fran Herrero, \u00d3scar Pujol and Luis Le\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez for many kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luisle&#8217; was the first to be dropped. He lost many minutes and fell off the pace when his bike chain broke. It seems that the possibilities of reediting the title for the rider from Mule are far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there to the finish, the group remained in three. They arrived at the finish grouped: Amador, Herrero and Mat\u00e9. The victory went to Mat\u00e9 and the leadership for the Costa Rican, who took the bonus minute of the \u0160koda Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Double prize for the KH7 team: stage and GC leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/@uniti_bcn-DSCF9323-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joy for the KH7 team in the women&#8217;s GC was a little more moderate. \u2018Pili\u2019 Fernandez maintain the lead, but the Spaniard has seen her advantage halved with respect to the British Annabel Fisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fisher had this day marked on her calendar. She is another of those road pros who do best in stages with a lot of elevation gain. The \u0160koda We Love Cycling stage was hers and she had it clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the first moment it was clear that the rookie wanted to fight for the victory. Winner of the \u0160koda Challenge and with a big advantage over the KH7 rider, Fisher looked like she could put in check the leadership of his rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the injured wrist and her inexperience in mountain biking showed on the downhill. From there to the finish, she rode almost alone and still managed to reduce the gap at the finish from six to three minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a different day in the \u0160koda Titan Desert Morocco 2025.
