On July 12, the seventh stage of the 2025 "ICBC Cup" 24th Tour of America Qinghai International Road Cycling Race ended in Gonghe-Haiyan.

After the HC-level climbing point selection in the sixth stage, the pattern of this competition has been initially determined, and it is difficult for each team's performance and personal performance to have a major reversal. However, the situation on the field is changing rapidly. After the anxious battle in the seventh stage, the yellow jersey still changed hands and the overall ranking continued to be refreshed.
The performance of the Phoenix Phoenix-SCOM-Hengxiang Intercontinental Team continued to improve in this stage. Chinese player Xie Daochao has secured the best result among Chinese riders in this year's Tour de Tour with a huge advantage. Cyrus continued to break through the long distance in this stage, showing his strong competitive status and experience in the field.
Stage review


This stage is 137 kilometers long, with 2 climbing points and 3 sprint points on the way. Athletes started from Gonghe and climbed back to the Luohe Pass of Nanshan Mountain. Since the difficulty of the reverse climb is reduced, it is a level 3 climbing point. After crossing the Luohe Pass at an altitude of 3,740 meters, there is a rapid downhill slope of 7 kilometers. This slope section is a great test for the riders' courage when climbing and their ability to control the car. After that, there is the 80-kilometer-long east coast of Qinghai Lake. The riders rush along the lake to Haiyan County, the end of the stage.



Since the start of this Tour of Youth Championships, Phoenix Phoenix-SCOM-Hengxiang Intercontinental Team rider Cyrus has broken through seven consecutive long-distance stages without interruption, breaking through the limits of physical endurance and with a distinctive personal style, daring to challenge and try constantly. This competitive state and the spirit of fighting on the field also affect every athlete in the team. At the same time, Cyrus is also constantly leading the Chinese driver Xie Daochao to break out of the lead. With his strong position-taking ability and breakout experience, he and Xie Daochao remain in the leading group.



Chinese driver Xie Daochao still performed well in this stage. After six stages of training, Xie Daochao basically locked in the best result of a Chinese player in this Tour of Youth Games in advance with a huge lead. Xie Daochao contributed a wonderful performance to this tournament with his stable performance and strong assist ability. And in this stage, he always maintained his position in the main group and the first group, and passed the finish line with Cyrus in the big group sprint at the end, and the overall ranking continued to improve.



The other riders of the Phoenix Phoenix-SCOM-Hengxiang Intercontinental Team, Maris, Aleksandr and Ilya, successfully completed the task of this stage and finished the race safely.
Event Preview
