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.

Twenty-three teams participated in the race. All 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited. They were joined by five UCI ProTeams: one of the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams in 2024 (Israel–Premier Tech), along with four teams selected by RCS Sport, the organisers of the Tour.[2]

Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rules allow twenty two teams to enter a Grand Tour – eighteen UCI WorldTeams, the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams from the previous season and two teams invited by the organisers. Grand Tour race organisers ASO and RCS Sport asked the UCI to allow an additional wildcard team to be invited to Grand Tour events, after lobbying from smaller teams competing for the wildcard slots.[3] Larger teams were reported to not support the request, with Visma–Lease a Bike noting that an additional team would decrease safety.[4][5] In March 2025, the UCI announced that twenty three teams would be permitted in 2025, allowing an additional ProTeam to be invited.[6] RCS Sport announced the teams on 31 March 2025.[2]

Pre-race favourites

Primož Roglič (left) and Juan Ayuso (right) were widely considered the top favorites for the general classification. Roglic abandoned on stage 16[7] while Ayuso abandoned on stage 18.[8]

In pre-race coverage from cycling analysts and publications, Slovenian Primož Roglič (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) and Spaniard Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates XRG) were widely seen as the favorites for the general classification.[9][10][11][12] Roglič, the 2023 Giro champion, was viewed as a top contender due to his extensive Grand Tour experience and strong team, which included former Giro winner Jai Hindley and 2024 runner-up Daniel Martínez.[9] Roglič had also shown strong form in 2025, beating Ayuso at the Volta a Catalunya.[10] Ayuso, making his Giro debut, was coming off a win at Tirreno–Adriatico. At 22 years old, Ayuso had already achieved significant Grand Tour results, with two top-four finishes in the Vuelta a España.[9]

Other riders expected to compete for the podium were Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates XRG), Ayuso's teammate and potential co-leader who finished third in the 2023 Tour de France.[9] His twin brother Simon Yates (Visma–Lease a Bike), a former Vuelta champion, and Richard Carapaz (EF Education–EasyPost), Giro champion in 2019, were listed as contenders despite mixed prior results in 2025.[12][9] Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers), winner of both the Tour in 2019 and Giro in 2021, was seen as a significant challenger for the first time since his 2022 crash.[12][9] Michael Storer (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) had entered into contention with a "dominant performance" at the Tour of the Alps, where he won a stage and the general classification.[9][13] Other outsiders mentioned by multiple publications included Antonio Tiberi (Team Bahrain Victorious), Mikel Landa (Soudal–Quick-Step), Derek Gee (Israel–Premier Tech), Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team), and Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek).[9][11]

For the points classification, the favorites included sprinters Kaden Groves (Alpecin–Deceuninck), Olav Kooij (Visma–Lease a Bike), and Sam Bennett (Decathlon–AG2R La Mondiale), as well as more versatile riders like Mads Pedersen (Lidl–Trek), Wout van Aert (Visma–Lease a Bike), and Paul Magnier (Soudal–Quick-Step).[11][14] For the mountains classification, the general classification contenders were seen as most likely to win, alongside breakaway and climbing specialists like Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana Team), Georg Steinhauser (EF Education–EasyPost), and Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astana Team).[15]

Route and stages

In April 29 it was announced that the final stage that would start from the Vatican Gardens, Vatican City to celebrate the 2025 Jubilee and to pay homage to Pope Francis, who passed away on April 21. The stage's start was observed by Pope Leo XIV, who welcomed the cyclists to the final stage of the race.[16][17]
