Simon Yates finds release by finally winning his first Giro d'Italia title after years of heartbreak and misfortune in the Grand Tour.

Simon Yates won the Giro d’Italia after an epic climb from third place to race leader by a comfortable margin on Saturday’s decisive mountain stage. Yates, the 2018 Vuelta a Espana champion from Great Britain, overcame an 81-second deficit and took a 3:56 lead in the overall standings after 20 of 21 stages.

Simon Yates of Visma-Lease a Bike won the 2025 Giro d'Italia on Sunday to claim his second Grand Tour victory, having effectively sealed the title a day earlier when he snatched the pink jersey from Isaac Del Toro.
