Del Toro Stays in Pink at Giro d'Italia After First of Two Mountain Showdowns
- Nico Denz won Stage 18 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia, a 144-km race from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno, finishing in 3:12:07.
- The stage featured an early 30-plus rider breakaway that gained over ten minutes as the peloton allowed it, with significant climbs in the first half.
- Denz, a 31-year-old German and former two-time Giro stage winner, attacked from a reduced lead group on the finishing circuit and soloed to victory.
- Denz said this victory was "probably the most exciting" one, dedicating it to his father on Father's Day in Germany and reflecting on losing teammate Jai Hindley.
- Isaac del Toro, a Mexican rider and Giro leader since stage nine, retained the Pink Jersey as the race approached two decisive upcoming mountain stages.
