- Primož Roglič, 35, withdrew from the 2025 Giro d’Italia on May 27 following a crash during the mountainous 16th stage, which started in Piazzola sul Brenta and finished in San Valentino.
- Roglič’s withdrawal followed multiple crashes earlier in the race and poor recent form that left him 10th overall and over three minutes behind leader Isaac Del Toro.
- The crash occurred on wet roads around 94 kilometres from the finish, involving Richard Carapaz who was able to continue while Roglič was forced to stop and abandon.
- Before the stage, Roglič acknowledged that aiming for a high position in the overall rankings was no longer feasible and that his main goal had shifted to simply staying in the race.
- The abandonment ended Roglič’s bid for a second Giro title and added to his five failed Grand Tour finishes in nine attempts, potentially impacting his Tour de France preparation.
