Giro d'Italia 2025 GC Update | Mads Pedersen back in pink after powerful stage 3 win
CyclingSunday, 11 May 2025 at 18:10
Mads Pedersen is back on top at the 2025 Giro d'Italia. After losing the race lead by just one second in the stage 2 time trial to Primoz Roglic, the Lidl-Trek sprinter regained the Maglia Rosa with a powerful win on stage 3.
As mentioned, just a single second separated Pedersen and Roglic at the start of the day. Following the Dane's win on stage 3 and the 10 bonus seconds picked up by the stage winner, Pedersen now sits 9 seconds clear of the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader.
Elsewhere in the top 10, everyone else is as they were following the stage 2 time trial, although the gaps have extended slightly to the Maglia Rosa. Mathias Vacek (+14) completes the podium places, with Brandon McNulty (+21), Juan Ayuso (+25), Isaac del Toro (+26), Max Poole (+33), Antonio Tiberi (+34), Michael Storer (+36) and Giulio Pellizzari (+40) rounding out the top 10.
