Giro d'Italia 2025 GC Update | Primoz Roglic already into pink after stage 2!

Individual time trials always throw up the possibility of big time gaps amongst the general classification contenders at a Grand Tour and stage 2 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia proved no different. Although Primoz Roglic narrowly missed out on the stage win by 1 second to Joshua Tarling, the Slovenian's consolation prize is the Maglia Rosa.

Roglic, who won the Maglia Rosa at the 2023 Giro d'Italia thanks to a stunning performance against the clock, came closer than anyone else to stopping the British time trial champion on stage 2 here. Whilst that ultimately proved just out of reach, the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader gained some significant time on all the rest of his GC rivals.

What that means for the general classification now, is that stage 1 winner Mads Pedersen drops to 2nd overall, just a single second behind Roglic - so could potentially get himself back in pink on stage 3, with Pedersen's Lidl-Trek teammate Mathias Vacek completing the top 3. Then come the UAE Team Emirates - XRG stars, firstly through Brandon McNulty in 4th at 12 seconds, then Juan Ayuso - 5th at 16 seconds and Isaac del Toro - 6th at 17 seconds.

Completing the top-10, Max Poole (+24), Antonio Tiberi (+25), Michael Storer (+27) and Roglic's Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe teammate Giulio Pellizzari (+31).
