Carlos Verona claims long-awaited victory as Primoz Roglic loses more time at Giro
- Carlos Verona won stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia on May 25, 2025, soloing after a 44km attack starting at the foot of the Dori climb near Asiago.
- Verona attacked from a seven-rider breakaway about 45km from the finish following the overnight abandonment of Lidl-Trek leader Giulio Ciccone due to a muscle injury from a crash the previous day.
- Meanwhile, pre-race favorite Primoz Roglic lost 90 seconds on the stage, was distanced on the final climb, and fell five places to tenth overall with a nearly four-minute deficit to leader Isaac del Toro.
- Verona, riding his 13th WorldTour season at age 32, called his attack a response to Ciccone's crash and said, "I'm not really fast, I'm actually quite slow," emphasizing his effort for his teammate.
- Roglic's team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe acknowledged his ongoing pain and injury concerns, stating medical withdrawal could be considered at the upcoming rest day as his chances for overall victory diminish.
