Bury's Simon Yates Finishes Safely in Peloton to Seal Victory at Giro d’Italia - Manchester Evening News

Simon Yates, a 32-year-old British cyclist from Bury, won the 2025 Giro d’Italia by taking the pink jersey on the penultimate stage in Italy.
Yates secured victory after overcoming an 81-second deficit with a solo attack on the gravel climb of Colle delle Finestre that ended Isaac Del Toro's 10-day lead.
Yates finished the race nearly four minutes ahead of 21-year-old Mexican Del Toro, while teammate Olav Kooij won the final sprint stage and Del Toro claimed the white jersey for best young rider.
Yates described the win as "a defining moment of my career, there's no doubt about that," marking his second Grand Tour title after winning the 2018 Vuelta a España.
Yates became the third British cyclist to win the Giro d’Italia, while Del Toro showed promise for future Grand Tours despite tactical errors on Saturday’s stage.
