The successes achieved in 2025 by Simon Yates, Tadej Pogacar, and Jonas Vingegaard have confirmed the national trend that has characterized the last decade. Great Britain, Slovenia, and Denmark have together won 21 out of the 30 Grand Tours held from 2016 to 2025 (70% of the total), standing on the podium a total of 45 times (half of the 90 available).

During the same period, Italy celebrated Vincenzo Nibali's victory in the 2016 Giro d'Italia and totaled five top-three finishes, the last being Damiano Caruso's 2nd place in the Corsa Rosa in 2021.

In 2025, the Azzurri won 5 of the 60 individual stages awarded in the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España. The balance is mixed: on one hand, they equaled the negative record set in 1973, 2022, and 2024; on the other, the victories came in all three Grand Tours, something that hadn't happened since 2017.

Isaac Del Toro's 2nd place in the Giro d'Italia allowed Mexico to become the 29th nation with at least one Grand Tour podium. Florian Lipowitz's 3rd place in the Tour de France brought Germany back to the top three after 19 years, ending a 56 consecutive Grand Tours drought that began after Andreas Klöden's 2nd place in the Grande Boucle in 2006.
