Overview
- Kasper Asgreen claimed victory in Stage 14 with a decisive solo attack in the final 6 kilometers of the Gorizia–Nova Gorica circuit.
- A mass crash 22.5 kilometers from the finish disrupted the peloton, impacting several general classification contenders, including Primoz Roglic, Juan Ayuso, and Giulio Ciccone.
- Isaac Del Toro, despite being involved in the crash, retained the maglia rosa and extended his overall lead, now holding a 1’20” advantage over Simon Yates.
- Wet cobblestone roads and rain were major factors in the crash, which caused Giulio Ciccone to lose significant time and drop out of GC contention.
- Kaden Groves and Olav Kooij finished second and third, respectively, in a reduced sprint behind Asgreen’s solo finish.
