7 riders have put their signature on the first 9 stages of the 2025 Giro d'Italia. The only one capable of winning more than one stage is Mads Pedersen, 3 times successful. The Danish rider also holds the record for pink jerseys worn so far, 5. 6 nations have won at least one stage and 4 have seen their representatives lead the general classification.

Italy has not yet secured a victory but thanks to Diego Ulissi has rediscovered the joy of the pink jersey after 86 stages. This was indeed the time that had passed since De Marchi wore it in Cattolica during the fifth stage of 2021. Thus, the longest drought ever for our cycling has been interrupted. Zambanini in Matera, Ulissi in Castelraimondo, and Ciccone in Siena were the only Italians to place among the top three in the first 9 stages.

Among the 60 cyclists who have obtained top ten placements so far, 28 are Italians, while with the first times of Denmark and Mexico, a total of 30 nations have seen their representatives wear the symbol of leadership in the history of the Giro. For 5 of the 7 riders who have won stages in this edition, it was their first career joy in the Pink Race.
