Giro d'Italia 2025, Hoole wins stage 10. General classification overturned

Pisa, May 20, 2025 – The stage 10 proposes the second and last stopwatch of the Giro d'Italia 2025. As usual, in these cases there are two races in one: the first for the partial victory, which goes to the giant Dan Hoole, yet another ace played by a Lidl-Trek in great form, and the second one concerns the overall which rewards Primois Roglic, who climbs back up the slope with an important test also facilitated by the better weather conditions among the rivals. Among them, they pedal well (despite everything) Juan Ayuso e Simon yates: the first recovers a lot to the increasingly fragile pink jersey Isaac Del Toro, while the second one climbs positions and almost threatens the third place of Antonio Tiberi, defense for just 2". Instead they go down Egan Bernal, Julius Ciccone e Richard Carapaz: in the context of a still very short general classification, the prospects for this trio could change, but also for Brandon McNulty e Adam Yates.

La stage 11, the Viareggio-Castelnovo Ne' Monti di 186 km, puts on the plate 3 GPM, of which the first is of the first category and the others of the second category, and well 3.850 meters of altitude difference: apparently a stage for escapees, unless some man in the general classification wants to try the coup on climbs with very treacherous gradients and descents that, in case of rain, could become a further obstacleiday.
