2025 has been an incredible year so far for the XDS Astana Team and although they missed out on the win on stage 8 to Luke Plapp at the Giro d'Italia, the team has secured the consolation prize of the top 2 spots in the general classification through Diego Ulissi and Lorenzo Fortunato respectively.
For Ulissi, an eight-time Giro d'Italia stage winner, this marks a first ever spell in the lead of his home Grand Tour, a special moment for the 35-year-old Italian no doubt. In the GC, Ulissi now holds a 12 second advantage over his teammate Fortunato, with former Maglia Rosa Primoz Roglic bumped down to 3rd overall at 17 seconds down.
UAE Team Emirates - XRG duo Juan Ayuso (+20) and Isaac del Toro (+26) then sit 4th and 5th respectively, with Antonio Tiberi (+44), Max Poole (+47), Michael Storer (+50), Brandon McNulty (+51) and Simon Yates (+56) completing the top 10 heading into stage 9.
