Mexican cycling professional Edgar Cadena triumphs in the Mühlviertel!
What an exciting day in the Mühlviertel! On May 31, 2025, the third stage of the 15th International Raiffeisen Upper Austria took place from Bad Schallerbach to Aigen/Schlägl. The spectators got their money's worth, because the Mexican bike professional Edgar David Cadena triumphed over 141.1 kilometers and secured the coveted yellow jersey.
Cadena, who drives Petrolike team and saw the light of day on August 20, 2000 in Mexico City, attaches great importance to his physical fitness. With a weight of 63 kg and a size of 1.70 m, it cannot be overlooked. Today he drove the route in 3 hours, 22 minutes and 9 seconds and set himself off with a lead of only 4 seconds from Aaron Dockx (Belgium, Alpecin Deceuninck Development Team). Marco Schrettl, the best Austrian in this race, landed in 5th place, only 6 seconds behind the leader.

However, the competition remains exciting - the decision on the tour victory will fall on the Höss in Hinterstoder tomorrow at the mountain arrival.

Further top plants went to Giacomo Ballabio, Philipp Hofbauer and Colin Stüssi in places 6 to 8.
Austria's cyclists in the spotlight
The dominance of the Mexican does not have to steal the show to the domestic athletes. Marco Schrettl is currently fourth in the overall ranking, only 20 seconds behind Cadena. Riccardo Zoidl is in 13th place and has a gap of 28 seconds on the leader. The competition is hard for the Austrian cyclists, but they are ready to give everything to get to the top.
