Overview

• Yates overturned a 20-year-old deficit on the Colle delle Finestre during stage 20 to seize the maglia rosa and held it through the final procession into Rome.
• Isaac Del Toro, who led the race for eleven stages, finished second overall, 3 minutes 56 seconds behind Yates.
• Richard Carapaz secured third place at 4 minutes 43 seconds after mounting several mountain challenges.
• The absence of Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard opened the field, while early abandonments by Primož Roglič and Juan Ayuso reshaped the general classification.
• This victory marks Yates’s return to Grand Tour success after years of injuries and positions him as a key mountain lieutenant for Vingegaard at the Tour de France.
