Del Toro Keeps Overall Giro Lead After Day of Drama

Isaac del Toro retained the overall lead of the Giro d'Italia on May 27, 2025, after a tough mountain stage finishing in San Valentino.
Del Toro nearly lost the pink jersey after being dropped by Egan Bernal and losing time to Richard Carapaz and Simon Yates on the mountainous stage.
The 21-year-old Mexican crashed multiple times yet showed resilience, while Carapaz launched a decisive attack and Yates closed the gap to the leader.
Del Toro managed to hold onto the pink jersey, maintaining a slim advantage of just under half a minute over Yates and slightly more than half a minute ahead of Carapaz, while admitting that although he performed well, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with the leaders.
The race became more open after Primoz Roglic's crash and Juan Ayuso falling out of contention, suggesting a contested finale over the final five stages.
