Yannis Voisard wins the third stage of the AlUla Tour , 142.1 km from Winter Park to Bir Jaydah Mountain Wirkah. The Swiss rider from Team Tudor manages to hold on to the final climb and surprise Eulalio and Higuita in the finale.

The first to attempt an attack were Malaysians Kee Yie Zee and Muhammad Rosli of the Terrenganu Cycling Team, along with Saudi Arabian rider Nader Hazazi. With 56 km to go, Hazazi was caught by the peloton, leaving the two Terrenganu riders in front, with a lead of about 2:30, though the peloton was in complete control.

Kee Yie Zee wins the intermediate sprint with 30km to go, then the two riders are caught by the peloton with 26km to go.   With 12 km to go, there was a bad crash involving three riders: Davide Stella of UAE Team Emirates , Laurenz Rex of Quick Step and Fabien Grellier of TotalEnergies.

Davide Skerl, second yesterday, wins the final intermediate sprint at km 129, ahead of Bauhaus and Malucelli. Then Jayco AlUla takes the lead, increasing the pace of the group, and with 3.3 km to go, Jonathan Milan breaks away.

Paul Double immediately sets off, tailed by Eulalio and Arrieta. With 2.5 km to go, Jan Christen breaks away, and this attack does more harm than good. A strong Garofoli follows him.  

With 1.2 km to go, on the 8% section, Christen accelerates again and this time drops Garofoli. Eulalio and Arrieta move behind, catching up with Christen, along with Voisard and Higuita . The Colombian takes the lead and surprises the UAE team, but Voisard overtakes him in the final meters and takes the win, with Eulalio finishing second, ahead of Higuita. Christen collapses in the final meters and finishes eighth.

Yannis Voisard is also the new leader of the general classification.
