'Damage control' for pink jersey as chaotic Giro d'Italia finish 'destroyed' Mads Pedersen's Lidl-Trek lead-out train

3 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

A "chaotic" Lecce circuit at the Giro d'Italia saw Lidl-Trek's luck run out and a dominant start to the race come to an end, with several incidents "destroying" Mads Pedersen's lead-out train for the sprint. Pedersen had gone two for two in road stages at the Giro in Albania, but with a flat day on offer in the south of Italy for stage 4, the hectic nature of a Grand Tour sprint finale saw his planned last man, Søren Kragh Andersen, crash hard, and his team forced into "damage control".
'Fast is not always the most sexy' - Time trial helmets help Picnic-PostNL and Van Uden net victory in Giro d'Italia sprint

3 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

The use of more aerodynamic time trial helmets in road races is a cycling trend that has found more success at the Grand Tours in 2025, with Picnic PostNL's Casper van Uden and his lead-out utilising the "just faster" equipment to help win stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia. At the starting team presentation and rider sign-in prior to the stage 4 start in Alberobello, the Picnic PostNL squad all donned their usual road helmets.
'Others called it quits, I carried on' - Paul Double on the resilient road from 'getting head kicked in' as a U23 to a Giro d'Italia debut at 28

There were 59 debutants on the start line of this year's Giro d'Italia, but few will have completed a more fitting and fascinating "full circle" journey to their first Grand Tour than Paul Double. From VC Venta in Winchester, to cutting his teeth in Italian under-23 racing, and finally making it to the WorldTour in 2025 with Jayco AlUla, Double has arrived somewhere he at times didn't think would be reachable – La Corsa Rosa.
'It will make a big difference' - Olav Kooij gears up for first flat sprint at Giro d'Italia with Wout van Aert as luxury lead-out

4 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

Having a former Champs-Élysées sprint winner as your lead-out man sounds contradictory in nature, but it's exactly the luxury that will be afforded to Olav Kooij at the Giro d'Italia in 2025, with Wout van Aert set to be his main pilot on the first flat day on stage 4.
Ineos Grenadiers say 'The only way to do the best GC possible' at Giro d'Italia is continued use of more aggressive tactics

5 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

Ineos Grenadiers may be at the centre of people's minds at the moment, with their rumoured deal with TotalEnergies reportedly gathering momentum. However, whether that materialises or not, one thing that has been a concrete certainty for the British team in 2025 is their obvious change in tactics towards a more aggressive, attacking style, which has borne fruit in the form of 11 victories.
'Just watch out for the goats' - Animal jumps at Dion Smith's wheel at Giro d'Italia in Albania, forces him into evasive action - video

5 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

Dion Smith narrowly escaped a run-in with an Albanian goat on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia, after the animal ran into the road and jumped at his back wheel on the 160km route that started and finished in Vlorë. The New Zealand rider was forced into evasive action, however, forced into some mid-May cyclocross and a ride onto the grass, while the riders behind him braked and also avoided the goat, which escaped the bizarre incident similarly unscathed.

'I really wanted to go home' - Arensman and Gee honest about poor opening day at Giro d'Italia, with comebacks started in time trial

6 days ago | cyclingnews.com | James Moultrie

Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) and Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) were among the biggest losers on the 2025 Giro d'Italia's opening day in Albania, with the Canadian losing 57 seconds and the Dutchman 1:37 to the main group of GC favourites. But on stage 2 and racing up to the same finish line in Tirana, both riders were able to start somewhat of a comeback for their overall ambitions by finishing in the top 20 on the stage, with Gee jumping 11 spots on GC and Arensman 15.
'Suffering like a dog by yourself, but I enjoyed that' - Tom Pidcock satisfied with time trial performance at Giro d'Italia

Few riders would say they enjoyed the brutal process that goes into competing in a Grand Tour time trial, with the utterly exhausted faces of the likes of Wout van Aert (Visma-lease a Bike) and Daan Hoole (Lidl-Trek) showing just what it takes to rip round 13 kilometres on city streets at over 50kph.
'It hasn't sunk in yet' - Josh Tarling endures agonising 90-minute wait for maiden Grand Tour stage victory at Giro d’Italia

For most Grand Tour stage winners, that taste of victory at cycling's biggest races comes with a euphoric release of achievement, able to cross the finish line with their arms aloft, knowing they have indeed won. But for British time trial champion Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) on stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia, that feeling of netting a maiden GT win came only after one hour and 28 minutes of waiting. There could be no grand celebration once Tarling crossed the line in Tirana.

Great video of two icons. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot said making her #ParisRoubaixFemmes debut was a ‘stupid idea’ after coming 2nd at Flanders. Now she has her first road win since 2015, and at an iconic race that didn’t even exist until 2021. Really cool day for women’s cycling🇫🇷

🇫🇷 #ParisRoubaix When video says more than a thousand words… a 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗵 that will never be 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻. 💛 https://t.co/wtekiTTSdZ
