Overview

• Simon Yates’s decisive attack on Colle delle Finestre in the final mountain stage secured him over five minutes’ advantage and the pink jersey.
• Yates rode largely under the radar, bypassing sprints and media events to conserve energy for the race’s latter stages.
• The victory avenged his near-collapse on the same climb during the 2018 Giro d’Italia.
• Isaac Del Toro led the general classification for much of the event and finished as the best young rider.
• The Giro concluded with a stage through Vatican City, where Pope Leo XIV greeted the riders.
