October 18 saw the showdown of the 2025 COTTI COFFEE UCI WorldTour Tour of Guangxi’s Queen Stage—Stage 5 from Yizhou to Nongla. Known for its decisive climbs and punishing gradients, this stage often determines the general classification (GC). Paul Double (Team Jayco-AIUIa) delivered a commanding solo victory on the final ascent, claiming both the stage win and the red jersey as GC leader.
