"I gave everything for 3 weeks, I wouldn't change anything" - Richard Carapaz finishes the Giro d'Italia with pride

Richard Carapaz has finished third in the Giro d'Italia 2025. The Ecuadorian of EF Education-EasyPost man was only beaten by Isaac del Toro and the eventual maglia rosa, Simon Yates. He came for the victory, but the podium is still a great result, although given the development of the race, perhaps he could have expected more.

Oh what could've been if it wasn't for stage 20.

After the 21st and final stage, in which he finished 34th in the main peloton, he spoke to the media, "Yes, I think it's a special race for me, the Giro. To be back on the podium again is very special for me and for my team. I think this is the result of a 3-year project and now to be on this podium is super special. Now we have to enjoy it, for me it's very special".

He was asked again about stage 20, where he essentially lost the Giro, and his answer was positive: "For me now third position is the same. I think I gave everything for 3 weeks and I wouldn't change anything. I think this is the game and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose."
