Yates snatches pink jersey from Del Toro, closes in on Giro title
Gulf Today
|June 01, 2025
Britain's Simon Yates is set to win the Giro d'Italia after stealing the overall lead from Isaac Del Toro in Saturday's crucial 20th stage, won by Chris Harper, and claiming the pink jersey for the finale in Rome.
-
Yates, 32, will claim a career-defining triumph on Sunday barring disaster after overhauling Del Toro with a brave solo attack on the key Colle delle Finistre climb and finishing the stage third behind Australian rider Harper and Alessandro Verre.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider now only has to cross the line intact in Rome to win his second Grand Tour, with the final stage largely a procession around the Italian capital and Vatican City.
Yates, who broke down in tears at the line, is almost four minutes clear of Del Toro heading into the finale after redemption on the Finistre, the highest climb of this year's Giro and an 18.5km slog up to 2,178 metres above sea level.
He lost the pink jersey the last time the Finistre featured in the Giro, on the 19th stage of the 2018 edition when he ended up finishing over an hour behind eventual victor Chris Froome in the overall standings.
