Vingegaard Seizes Giro Lead With Solo Win on Pila

His third summit victory hands Team Visma a 2:26 cushion ahead of a brutally mountainous final week that begins with the special‑category climb to Cari.

Overview

  • On Saturday Jonas Vingegaard attacked about 4.6 kilometres from the Pila summit to solo to victory and take the maglia rosa.
  • Vingegaard leads the general classification by 2 minutes 26 seconds over Afonso Eulálio with Felix Gall roughly 24–30 seconds further back on the podium.
  • The flat 15th stage into Milan was won by Fredrik Dversnes from a four‑man break while the peloton preserved overall gaps.
  • Race officials neutralized the final lap of stage 15 after riders complained about the asphalt and barrier placement and general classification times were taken at the previous passage under the finish arch.
  • The Giro now heads into a brutal final week that opens with the special‑category Cari climb, a sequence of high mountains where team control, rider form and safety choices are likely to decide the overall outcome.
