Throughout the 2025 Giro d'Italia there will likely be many riders forced to withdraw from the race, for various different reasons. We make a list of all riders who leave the race, as well as list out a few of the main crashes that take place during the race.
Stage 1
Juan Ayuso and Max Poole were involved in a minor crash on one of the day's climbs. However what really marked the day was the bad crash on the final descent of the day, where Mikel Landa crashed hard and was forced to abandon. Jay Vine and Corbin Strong fell alongside him. Moments later, Geoffrey Bouchard crashed in the exact same spot and was also forced to withdraw from the race.
Stage 2
The time-trial was not overly technical but still one particular corner saw a few riders slide, and Luke Plapp ended up crashing on that one, losing his chances of fighting for a top result. Mikel Landa in the meantime was confirmed to have suffered a fractured vertebrae which may end his season.
Stage 3
Nothing to report
Stage 4
Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team's Nickolas Zukowsky abandoned the Giro d'Italia with a broken collarbone, after a nasty crash that also saw the likes of Giulio Ciccone, Luke Plapp, Romain Bardet and others held up. Later on in the stage, another hard crash saw Soren Kragh Andersen come down hard, although the Dane did manage to get back on the bike and finish the stage.
Stage 5
Feeling the effects of his crash from the prior day, Soren Kragh Andersen didn't take to the startline of stage 5, leaving Mads Pedersen a rider down. In the stage itself, VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè duo Alessandro Pinarello and Filippo Magli were caught up in a crash with just over 50km to go, but both finished the day.
Stage 6
The stage started without Alessandro Pinarello, victim of a crash the previous day, who suffered a fractured scaphoid. This was unfortunately a day heavily marked by crashes.
The main crash of the day proved to be catastrophic, and led to the abandon of Jai Hindley, Dion Smith and Juri Hollmann. Jay Vine and Josef Cerny were shown on the TV broadcast to have abandoned the race, but this not officially the case.
Involved in the mass crash were also reportedly: Mads Pedersen, Adam Yates, Gerben Thijssen, Anthony Perez, Derek Gee, Daniel Martínez, Jan Tratnik, Paul Magnier, Jonathan Lastra, Lorenzo Fortunato, James Shaw, Richard Carapaz, Felix Engelhardt, Matevz Govekar, Jakob Fuglsang and Christian Scaroni.
Filippo Zana and Lucas Hamilton were involved in different crashes.
Stage 7
Because of the crashes of the previous day, we've had two non-starters on the day. Jan Hirt suffered a femur fracture and Arkéa's Michel Ries was also not fit to start. Picnic PostNL's Bram Welten did not finish the stage.
During the day there was a big hit to the French hopes in this race, as both Romain Bardet and David Gaudu fell together and were relatively injured (in the knee and hand respectively) - although it was nothing race-ending.
Stage 8
Nothing to report.
Stage 9
The gravel stage has seen a lot of chaos, and this was not by chance. Besides the treacherous and narrow roads, the tension was sky-high throughout a long period of time, which caused several falls throughout the day. Koen Bouwman did not start the stage, and Andrea Pasqualon did not finish it after fracturing a collarbone.
Primoz Roglic, Tom Pidcock, Michael Storer, Brandon McNulty and Milan Fretin were among those who fell throughout the stage, with varying degrees of consequences. The amount of riders that have gone down during the day is significantly higher however...
Stage 10
Before the time trial even began a proper, Primoz Roglic crashed during his recon. Thankfully, the Slovenian didn't have too any injuries that effected him during the stage though.
As for in the stage itself, Egan Bernal crashed early on his effort, losing a place in the top 10 as a result.
Stage 11
Nothing to note.
Stage 12
It was a calmer day in the peloton today, only with one meaningful crash to note inside the final kilometers which took down Francisco Muñoz.
Stage 13
Nothing to note.
Stage 14
Before the stage began there was a blow for the INEOS Grenadiers as Brandon Rivera abandoned through illness.
The stage itself was then highlighted by a mass crash in the peloton at around 23km to go that saw a number of riders either crash themselves, or get held up by the riders strewn across the narrow road. Among those caught up were the likes of Giulio Ciccone, who has since been sent to hospital for a medical evaluation, Mads Pedersen, Egan Bernal, Primoz Roglic, Juan Ayuso, Mathias Vacek, Antonio Tiberi, Pello Bilbao, Ben Turner, Daan Hoole and Jensen Plowright.
Stage 15
Nothing to note.
Stage 16
The rain fell heavily all day long in the first stage of the final week of the race and the consequences were also big because of it. Milan Fretin and Paul Magnier did not start the stage, whilst Primoz Roglic, Joshua Tarling and Alessio Martinelli all abandoned due to crashes. The latter has left many concerned after sliding down and crashing into a ravine, but Bardiani has provided an update confirming the rider was conscious and stable.
Egan Bernal, Richard Carapaz, Thymen Arensman, Gianmarco Garofoli and Carlos Verona at least were all also involved in crashes today.
Stage 17
It was a bad day for our Australian Giro d'Italia fans as both Luke Plapp and Jay Vine abandoned the Italian Grand Tour during the stage
Stage 18
Juan Ayuso departed the race, after a nasty bee sting to the face left in blinded in one eye.
Stage 19
Marco Brenner and Afonso Eulálio abandoned the race during today's stage, one that saw no crashes on TV broadcast until the very last dangerous corner. There, Giulio Pellizzari overcooked a corner and hit the barriers, coming down but not suffering meaningful injuries.
Stage 20
Davide Bais was involved in a crash.
Stage 21
Sven Erik Bystrom and Matevz Govekar suffered a crash inside the final 3 kilometers of the stage.

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
