Pedersen powers to victory in opening stage of Giro d'Italia
Gulf Today
|May 10, 2025
Denmark's Mads Pedersen of Lidl-Trek won the opening stage of the Giro d'ltalia on Friday, a 160km dash over rugged hills ending with two loops of downtown Tirana, as Albania hosts the first three days of this edition.

Pedersen was beautifully led out before resisting a late surge from Belgian Visma rider Wout van Aert. Primoz Roglic, the overall favourite to win the 21-day race, finished on the same time in a small bunch just behind.
"I knew he (Van Aert) was behind me so you never know if you can win until the line," said Pedersen.
"The team set it up. We rode hard and then got ahead for the finale."
Pedersen then took to the podium to slip on the iconic race leader’s pink jersey and spray the crowds with a magnum of sparkling wine.
“It’s the first leader’s jersey I have in a Grand Tour, so that’s something nice,” said Pedersen, the 2019 world champion.
