And so, instead of a day in the breakaway, Vine dedicated his stage 7 to helping his team leaders. "Once that door closed, the focus shifted — help the team as much as I could and make sure we were in a good place for the finale," he explains. "Really proud of how the group came together today. Huge congratulations to
Juan Ayuso for sealing the win from the group — and
Isaac del Toro for coming across second, what a ride by them!"
With 7 stages down and three riders in the top 10 of the general classification, UAE Team Emirates - XRG continue to look incredibly strong at the 2025 Giro d'Italia, and as Vine notes, it's still all to play for. "That’s one third of the Giro done and dusted already. Legs are ticking along well, and morale is high. There’s a lot of racing still to come, and this group’s got more to give," concludes the 29-year-old. "Looking forward to what the next stages bring — we’ll keep fighting, one day at a time."
