In the first 15 stages of the 2026 Giro d'Italia Italian riders have secured 3 victories and 10 overall top-three finishes. Nothing spectacular compared to the history of Italian cycling, but nonetheless a decisive step forward compared to last year: in 2025, on the eve of the final week, there had not yet been any victories and there were only 5 podium finishes.

So far, 10 riders have been able to win at least one stage, representing 8 nations. Jonas Vingegaard has claimed three stages and has also worn the pink jersey, bringing his total stage wins in the Grand Tours to 12: 3 at the Giro d'Italia, 4 at the Tour de France and 5 at the Vuelta a España. The Danish rider's total days in the leader's jersey in the Grand Tours rises to 44: 2 in the pink jersey, 27 in the yellow jersey and 15 in the red jersey.

Vingegaard has also matched Pogacar at 9 World Tour season victories and has allowed Denmark to tie France at 14 wins in the main UCI circuit races held in 2026. Italy has finally risen to 10 season victories in the World Tour.
