The Giro d’Italia is all about the climbs. Often the scene of GC moves and heroic efforts, the mountains are where the Italian Grand Tour will be won and lost once more in 2025. This year’s Giro will take the riders through the Alps and the Apennines during the three-week expedition around Italy (and Albania). Starting across the Adriatic, the race will get stuck into the mountains as early as week one, with the first summit finish scheduled for Stage 7.

At the end of 2024, XDS-Astana lurked in the doldrums of the UCI rankings, sat miles adrift of their WorldTour rivals, looking a dreary shadow of themselves and a far cry from the team that once championed Grand Tours and Monuments during their heyday in the 2010s. With Mark Cavendish having retired and a new sponsor on board, the team had reached a pivotal point in their 20-year history.

Paris-Roubaix delivered and more on Sunday, serving us an exciting day of racing on the iconic cobblestone roads of northern France. Mathieu van der Poel made it a hat-trick of Paris-Roubaix titles by taking his third win in three years.
