  • Ron 

Simon Yates (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) took the overall win in the 2025 Giro d’. Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team XRG) and (EF Education – EasyPost) finished second and third.

The final stage was won by Yates’ teammate Olav Kooij ahead of Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Matteo Moschetti (Q36.5 Cycling Team).

As tradition holds, the final stage allowed room for celebrations. The race only truly came to life in the second half. A small breakaway managed to stay ahead of the peloton for a while, but the sprinters were determined to set up a mass . Kooij could count on an excellent lead-out from teammates Edoardo Affini and Wout van Aert. The two delivered their sprinter to the final few hundred meters with an impressive effort. Kooij then convincingly secured his second stage win of this Giro.

“This Giro couldn’t have ended more beautifully,” said Kooij. “Claiming the overall win with Simon was already fantastic, but a third stage victory for the team was the icing on the cake. Today, we really wanted to go all out one more time. Thanks to Edoardo and Wout, I was perfectly positioned to start the sprint, and I was able to finish off. Winning here in Rome is amazing. This is a moment we’ll remember forever.”
