4 days ago | escapecollective.com | Dane Cash

About halfway into the racing season, XDS-Astana has done something we thought impossible late last year. Facing a staggering UCI points deficit in the battle to avoid relegation at the start of their 2025 campaign, Alexandre Vinokourov's team has hauled itself out of the relegation zone, at least for now.

Now that Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike) has wrapped up the 2025 Giro d'Italia, the rider and team that seemed destined to win the race right up until everything collapsed spectacularly on stage 20 have offered some insight into their thinking. Isaac del Toro defended his approach to the climactic mountain battle in an interview on Sunday, but UAE Team Emirates-XRG sports director Fabio Baldato and team boss Mauro Gianetti both acknowledged that mistakes were made.

Stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia was supposed to be a big one for the pink jersey battle, with three Cat 1 challenges among the day's five categorized climbs in the Valle d'Aosta. But when the dust settled in Champoluc, the GC gaps were modest at best. For fans hoping for more action, and for GC hopefuls looking to dethrone Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), it was a bit of a disappointment. For Del Toro, the relative calm on the GC front made stage 19 a smashing success.

In the first Grand Tour sprint of his career, Casper van Uden capped off an excellent Picnic-PostNL lead-out to win stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia. The 23-year-old Dutchman was perfectly placed going into the final corner with 250 meters to go, and he launched his sprint moments later, hitting the front of the race and holding on all the way to the line.

Until Thursday, the third-highest ranked team in men's bike racing this season had yet to win any WorldTour events in 2025 - but Lorenzo Fortunato has now proved at the Tour de Romandie that, yes, XDS-Astana can actually win at the highest level in their relegation-resisting rampage. The 28-year-old Italian soloed clear of a strong breakaway group to close out an intriguing stage 2 with a victory ahead of Alex Beaudin (EF Education-EasyPost) and Junior Lecerf (Lotto).
