Simon Clarke and Alessandro De Marchi were both looking for the first Giro d'Italia stage wins of their long careers. Heartbreakingly for the experienced duo they were caught with the finish line in sight.
As the leading pair began to look at each other and play a bit of cat and mouse, the sprinters began to launch their final efforts and Fernando Gaviria flew past Clarke and De Marchi with just 200m to go breaking the breakaway hearts.
Mads Pedersen was the eventual winner of the stage, taking the first Giro win of his career and completing his Grand Slam of Grand Tour stage wins.
Check out the final 1km in the video below.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
