Ayuso Bursts to Stage Win as Roglič Takes Overall Lead at Giro d’Italia

On May 17, Juan Ayuso secured his first Grand Tour stage win by triumphing on the challenging 168-kilometer seventh stage of the 2025 Giro d'Italia, which featured a mountainous route finishing atop a summit in Tagliacozzo.
The stage featured challenging climbs including a category one summit finish, which set the scene for general classification contenders to attack.
Ayuso launched a powerful surge 400 meters from the finish line to claim victory, finishing ahead of UAE Team Emirates' Isaac Del Toro and Egan Bernal, while Primož Roglič secured the overall race lead.
Roglič, who was widely regarded as the favorite before the race and the defending champion from 2023, secured the pink jersey by finishing four seconds ahead of Ayuso, who moved into second place overall.
Ayuso's first Grand Tour stage win and Roglič's overall lead suggest an intensifying battle among climbers as the Giro progresses through more mountainous terrain.
