Overview

• Juan Ayuso secured his first stage win of the 2025 Giro d’Italia on the 11.9 km summit climb to Tagliacozzo, attacking decisively in the final kilometer.
• Primož Roglič reclaimed the maglia rosa, overtaking Mads Pedersen, who fell behind on the final climb and finished far off the pace.
• The general classification is tightly contested, with Roglič leading Ayuso by just four seconds and Isaac Del Toro, Ayuso’s teammate, in third at nine seconds back.
• Egan Bernal delivered a strong performance, finishing third on the stage and signaling a return to form after years of injury setbacks.
• The Giro now heads into a series of challenging stages, including the hilly “Muri Marchigiani” route, gravel roads in Siena, and a critical time trial in Pisa.
