The stage of Saturday in the 2025 Giro was the most decisive of the entire race: in the brutal ascent to Colle delle Film, Simon Yates launched an unstoppable attack that completely picked up Isaac del Toro and Richard Carapaz, who failed to agree to pursue him.

While they argued and turned with distrust, the British Visma moved away with the support of his team, took more than seven minutes of advantage and became the virtual champion before the final walk in Rome. It was a coup of authority that changed the fate of the pink Corsa in a single day.

The profile and route of the last stage of the Italian Giro 2025

The last stage of the Italy 2025 will be the traditional triumphal walk in Rome, this Sunday, June 1. With departure in the EUR neighborhood and arrival in the heart of the eternal city, the route includes an initial section to the coast and then eight laps to an urban circuit of 9.5 km over the historic Sanpietrini, with long straight lines, closed curves and a final repect at 5% before a line of 350 meters. It will be a stage for sprinters and the final consecration of the champion, without expected changes in the general classification.

This was the Colombians in the general classification

In the absence of the last stage, Colombians have had an outstanding presence in the Italian 2025, with Egan Bernal in the seventh place of the general, to 12:42 of leader Simon Yates, and Einer Rubio in the eighth box, at 13:05.

Both resisted in the mountain and managed to stay in the Top-10 after the hard queen stage.

Further back, Nairo Quintana is 25 °, at 1:23:09, while Daniel Felipe Martínez occupies position 53, at 2:29:40, thus completing the national performance in a demanding edition of the pink race.

What happened between Carapaz and Del Toro? The explanation of the controversy

The disagreement between Richard Carapaaz and Isaac del Toro marked one of the most tense episodes of the 2025 Giro Ecuadorian. During the ascent to Colle delle Filmre, the lack of understanding between the two was noticed, with looks and reproaches when it was urgent to collaborate to stop the British. The tension, fueled by cross statements in previous days, finished exploding at the worst moment.

Del Toro responded peacefully, although his version made clear. As he explained, he considered that Carapaz, as a second in the general at that time, had to react to the yacht attack. “I tried to work with him, but he did not want. I couldn't empty my wheel with him alone, because he later attacked me,” he said. The Mexican defended his strategy focused on ensuring the podium, avoiding major risks. The fracture between the two was exposed just before the last stage in Rome, and although the title is already in the hands of yachts, the tension between Carapaaz and the bull will be one of the strongest memories of this edition.
