Final Startlist Giro del Veneto 2025 | Riders: Isaac del Toro, Marc Hirschi, Romain Gregoire, Christian Scaroni, Florian Vermeersch and more
Cycling
The Giro del Veneto returns for its 88th edition this Wednesday, continuing its late-season role as one of the final showdowns on the Italian racing calendar. Slotted just after Il Lombardia and ahead of the Veneto Classic, the one-day race offers a platform for classics specialists, puncheurs, and opportunists looking to close out their season on a high. With a course that encourages aggressive racing and a field packed with talent, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be another dramatic chapter in this historic event.
This year’s route runs 161.2 kilometres from Vicenza to Verona, reversing the direction from last year's edition. While the terrain is far from alpine, it's no flat affair either. Riders will face around 1,500 metres of climbing, with the decisive section expected to come late in the day. Central to the finale are five ascents of the Salita delle Torricelle, a 4 km climb averaging 5% that’s no stranger to World Championship circuits. These repeated climbs are likely to thin the field and set the stage for a selective finish — favouring explosive climbers and riders with a fast kick on an uphill drag.
Recent editions have shown how varied the outcomes can be. In 2022, Matteo Trentin took a crafty win from a reduced breakaway, using his experience and sprinting nous to outfox rivals. Dorian Godon came out on top in 2023 in a sprint from a select group, capitalizing on a strong team performance. And just last year, Corbin Strong emerged victorious after an uphill drag to the line in Vicenza, underlining how this race rewards both tactical patience and late-race punch. With the parcours once again favouring those who can handle short climbs and still finish fast, all eyes now turn to the startlist — and there’s no shortage of firepower lining up.

- provoke change, lol. this is a discussion board. nothing is going to change by what I say here. just commenting that it didn't look like MS impeded Brand. beyond that not trying to go too deep.mij09-11-2026

- ANATOMY OF A G.O.A.T. EDDY MERCKX about TADEJ POGAČAR: Merckx: “He has revived a style of cycling that we had almost forgotten. He is now better than me.” Key statements by Merckx about Pogačar in 2026: - Acknowledging his superiority: This time, Merckx openly admitted, without any subsequent backtracking or reservations, that Pogačar had surpassed him and was now above him. This contrasts with 2024, when he quickly softened his remarks about Pogačar being faster. - The possibility of a historic triple (Giro, Tour and Vuelta): During the July Tour de France (where Pogi claimed his fifth title), Merckx stated that Pogi was the only cyclist in history capable of winning all three Grand Tours (the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España) in a single season, provided the conditions were right and he had sufficient team support. - Lack of serious competition: Merckx emphasised that Pogačar has no real rivals in the mountains since 2024, thanks to his extraordinary climbing ability and the fact that he continues to improve despite still being under 28 (he turned 28 in autumn 2026). - Praise for his racing style: Merckx highlighted how Pogačar is bringing back the aggressive, uncompromising spirit of cycling's golden era, when races were not merely about calculated stages and tactical conservatism, but about attacking from long distances. PS: This is not "boring" ... this is called making real history, not only statistical history. Capish?PogiSloFans09-11-2026
- It’s off-season mate, I’m bored and fed up with the mediocrity of people unwilling to provoke change when they admit things aren’t right. What have you done lately to make anyone realise you won’t put up with things? What conversation, are you dictating to me which part of the incident I have to be interested in or telling me other parts are taboo? That’s what I guess the UCI would really like, let them moan, let it blow over for them pass on to the next thing, let’s keep the status quo, let’s try our best not reviewing or revealing anything about decision-making just like every time before, they’re used to it by now so we can take the risk they’ll never give us grief.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- As far as CUTD headlines go this is far from the worst. It helps if you look at it twice and realise it’s a list of descriptions from distinct events. You can’t deny the reality of being a rival if you consider the picture immediately below, frontrunner is unfortunate but I’m guessing this time it’s more a linguistic failure than a clickbaiting opportunity. Just a reminder that this is not an anglo website, for those who find it too tedious to interpret text to get the gist of things which are rarely of great importance (as opposed to eg purposely biaised DOJ extradition translations in order to achieve hidden agendas), there are plenty of anglo cycling websites google can suggest.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- Ah, finally someone willing to be a bit proactive.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- So? Do you understand the way instructions, decisions and authority work? Do you think in a football match if after a match (or even after play has gone on) a player tells the referee he did touch the ball with his hands when the referee didn’t award opponents a penalty that they will revise the score or force a replay? You really don’t get my point, it’s not against the rider but everyone here is so emotional for her they can’t get back to an issue which needs resolving for the future and the first step (or maybe second) is to try to understand how and why it happens, none of you have contributed in the least to that. All everyone is interested in is letting everyone know they agree how unjust it was, not even sure anyone thinks that could affect anything.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
