The race was won by Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard of Visma–Lease a Bike for the first time, becoming the eighth rider to win all three Grand Tours and the first to do so since Chris Froome in 2018. Vingegaard took the lead on stage 14, before slowly extending his lead to nearly five and a half minutes. Vingegaard won 5 stages, 4 of them in the mountains.[2]

Second overall was Austrian rider Felix Gall of Decathlon CMA CGM, with Australian rider Jai Hindley of Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe third overall. In the other classifications, French rider Paul Magnier of Soudal–Quick-Step won the points classification, Italian rider Giulio Ciccone of Lidl–Trek won the mountains classification, Portuguese rider Afonso Eulálio of Team Bahrain Victorious won the young rider classification and Italian rider Manuele Tarozzi of Bardiani–CSF 7 Saber won the sprints classification. The combativity award was won by Italian rider Damiano Caruso of Team Bahrain Victorious and the team classification was won by Visma–Lease a Bike.[3]

The race was followed by the 2026 edition of the Giro d'Italia Women, which had moved position in the calendar so not to clash with the men's Tour de France.[4]
