Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2025: Stage-by-stage analysis

[Gratemans]

Should we have two polls for the rider who was the biggest positive and negative performance this giro?

I think one poll should be enough to answer both those questions..

Interesting that none of the final
Podium was top ten in the 1st ITT. That’s quite uncommon in this era of top GC guys also being among the best TT-ers

It does help that the only two GC riders in the top ten that day DNFed

Yup, and that definitely changed the entire race.

Positives for me:

1. Del Toro
Breakthrough performance as a GC rider at the age of 21 (just 4 months older than when Pogacar had his breakthrough performance at the Vuelta) - and he did it for much of the race without proper back up from the team because he was not the designated captain.

2. Simon Yates
I don't think any of us - really - thought he could beat that UAE team, or Roglic, or Carapaz to pink in Rome.
But he just kept chugging on, like the little engine that could, many a time dropped from the front - and then dropped the hammer on the queen stage to take it.

3. Pedersen
4 stage wins, constantly in the mix for numerous others, and worked his behind off for his team mates as a dom on every day he had no chance to win - not a single stage without Pedersen doing something of note.

The negatives will always be the contenders who crashed out IMO
