The 2025 Giro d'Italia was the 108th edition of the Giro d'Italia, a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race. The race started on 9 May in Durrës, Albania and finished on 1 June in Rome. There were two individual time trial stages and three stages longer than 200 km. The general classification was won by the British rider Simon Yates of Team Visma–Lease a Bike, who completed the race in 82h 31' 01" at an average speed of 41.73 km/h (25.93 mph) for his first Giro victory. Yates claimed the leader's pink jersey for the first time on the penultimate stage by outdistancing the Mexican rider Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) on the Colle delle Finestre, after the latter had held the race lead since stage 9; del Toro retained second place in the general classification and won the young rider classification as well as the 17th stage. Ecuadorian rider Richard Carapaz (EF Education–EasyPost), a past Giro winner, placed third in the general classification. Mads Pedersen (Lidl–Trek) won four stages and the points classification. Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astana Team) won the mountains classification as well as the overall combativity award.
