In stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas, Marlen Reusser of Movistar achieved an impressive solo victory atop the Picón Blanco climb. She accelerated from a leading group with 4.4km remaining, managing to break away from Yara Kastelijn of Fenix-Deceuninck and Elena Chabbey. Reusser's relentless push allowed her to cross the finish line 40 seconds ahead of Kastelijn and 1:17 ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini. Her performance not only secured the stage win but also placed her in the lead of the general classification with a 1:10 margin over Kastelijn before the next time trial stage.
Reusser had accelerated from the group of favourites on the steepest part of the climb with 4.4km to go, and only Kastelijn and Chabbey could stay with her. Chabbey had to let go a few hundred metres later, and Reusser kept pushing hard, finally cracking Kastelijn at the two-kilometre mark.
With her stage victory, Reusser leads the general classification by 1:10 minutes over Kastelijn going into the stage 4 individual time trial.
