Primož Roglič Wins the 2023 Giro d’Italia

The Slovenian captured his fourth career grand tour victory with a legendary time trial on the Tour of Italy’s penultimate stage.

Primož Roglič won the 2023 Giro d’Italia behind a brilliant ride on the race’s penultimate stage. The Slovenian riding for Jumbo-Visma snatched the pink leader’s jersey from Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) on a Stage 19 time trial to win his fourth career grand tour—his first at the Giro d’Italia.

It was a Giro that was defined in the first two weeks by miserable weather conditions and an outbreak of COVID-19 in the peloton. Remco Evenepoel, who held the maglia rosa after the race’s first week, was forced to withdraw after a positive COVID test.

Despite a rough first two weeks, fans were treated to a terrific last week of bike racing. It was a brutal week in the mountains , culminating with the time trial that included over 1K of climbing that pushed riders to the limit on the final “GC” day of the race.

Evenepoel abandoned the Giro after Stage 9, leaving the pink jersey to Thomas. The 37-year-old Welshmen held the top GC spot until Stage 14 when Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ) briefly held the jersey for a few days before Thomas took it back. Thomas managed to fend off Roglič and João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) until the Stage 19 time trial when Roglič captured the maglia rosa for the first time in the race.

Here’s a look at the final standings for each jersey classification at the 2023 Giro d’Italia.

Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck team) clinched his inaugural Giro d'Italia stage victory in Salerno amid a dreary, rain-soaked and accident-ridden day on the Campania saddle.

The Australian rider faced a scare when he fell just 7 kilometers from the finish line, but managed to recover and push ahead to beat Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious) in a bunch sprint that saw Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) crash.

Former maglia rosa Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) was among several riders who fell earlier in the stage as he hit the ground for the second time during the day with 2.4km to go.

Tuesday 9 May: Stage 4 - Venosa to Lago Laceno, medium mountains, 175km

The day's big breakaway split from the main peloton with just under 100km left in the stage and made it to the final categorised climb of the day up the Colle Molella, up to Lake Laceno.

On the last ascent, the front group splintered, with the group of seven being reduced to just four, including Team DSM's Norwegian Andreas Leknessund . Leknessund attacked with around 4km to go, distancing his breakaway compatriots, with the race leader's maglia rosa in his sights.

Around two and a half minutes behind, the pink jersey wearer Remco Evenepoel found himself in a group with no teammates, who had all fallen back on the Molella.

However, Leknessund was caught by fellow breakaway man Aurélien Paret-Peintre with 3km to go, and the duo crested the Molella climb together to take on the final plateau to the finish line.

Paret-Peintre rode in Leknessund's wheel to the finish before launching a sprint with 200m to go with Leknessund unable to respond. However, the Norwegian, who entered the stage 1 minute 37 seconds behind Evenepoel, did enough to secure the leader's pink jersey. Leknessund became just the second Norwegian, after Knut Knudsen in 1975 and 1981, to lead the Giro d'Italia.

Evenepoel's group eventually came in 2 minutes, 1 second behind.

Monday 8 May: Stage 3 - Vasto to Melfi, medium mountains, 216km

This mostly-flat stage was broken up by two climbs late in the day, the category 3 Valico dei Laghi di Monticchio and the category 4 Valico La Croce, which was enough to tip the stage classification into medium mountains by virtue of their position near the end of the race.

That was enough to turn the stage from a pure sprint into one contested by only those who could hang on through the climbs, with some big sprinting names falling aside.

One of the sprint favourites with climbing ability, the 2019 world champion Mads Pedersen , was dropped on a climb but made it back to the main group in the final approach, setting up a duel with his main points jersey rival Michael Matthews .

In the final uphill dig to the line, Australia's Matthews attacked first and crested the top of the hill in Melfi, holding the lead by inches from Pedersen all the way to the line.

There was a small change at the front of the overall standings, as Remco Evenepoel extended his lead by taking three bonus seconds in an intermediate sprint 6km from the finish. His lead on main general classification rival Primoz Roglic grew by a second, as Roglic came in second in that bonus sprint.

The pink jersey wearer Remco Evenepoel came through the stage unscathed to retain his overall lead.

Saturday 6 May: Stage 1 - Fossacesia Marina to Ortona, flat individual time trial, 19.6km

Belgium's Remco Evenepoel continued his stellar recent form to take the opening time trial of the 2023 Giro d'Italia and take the race leader's 'Maglia Rosa' in sensational fashion.

The Soudal Quick-Step rider, who retained his Liège-Bastogne-Liège title two weeks ago , led at every checkpoint and completed the 19.6km in 21:18, a massive 22 seconds clear of two-time former world time trial champion Filippo Ganna .

Giro d'Italia Route, Stages and Results 2023

• Giro d'Italia

The latest news and race results from Italy's Grand Tour, covering everything from the start lists to the race winners.

The Giro d'Italia 2024 marks the 107th edition of the Italian Grand Tour. Starting at the Venaria Reale, just outside Turin, the route heads south towards Naples before travelling back north and into the Dolomites. Day 21 and the final stage sees a city circuit around the streets of Rome.

The three-week event is the opener in the trio of Grand Tours, followed by the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España .

Last year's winner, Primož Roglič, is not expected to attempt to defend the title, instead focusing on the Tour de France - so we can expect a new leader in pink for 2024. Wout van Aert has advertised his desire to claim the GC at the Italian race this year, whilst Geraint Thomas has set his sights on a Giro/Tour double.

This year, Cycling Weekly will be covering the race with daily race reports, reactions following each stage, and analysis as the Italian showdown progresses.

The Giro d'Italia 2024 route was unveiled on October 13, 2023. 

The race will begin in Piemonte on 4 May - and will include two time trials, six mountain finishes, and a final week in the Dolomites.

The iconic  Passo dello Stelvio will make an appearance, as well as a new climb, and the route also includes gravel sections.

Giro d'italia 2024: the jerseys.

The rider wearing the pink jersey (maglia rosa) at the Giro d'Italia 2024 will be the one leading the general classification. This is the rider who has accumulated the fastest time around the route so far, inclusive of time bonuses collected. On the final day, it is awarded to the overall general classification winner along with the Trofeo Senza Fine.

There are other jerseys up for grabs too. The purple (ciclamino) jersey is awarded to the rider who has accumulated the most points. More points are offered at the end of flatter, punchier stages than on mountain finishes, so this is a jersey for the sprinters. The blue (azzura) jersey goes to the rider who accumulates the most points on classified climbs, and the white (bianca) jersey is like the pink jersey but given to the best young rider under 26.

Giro d'Italia: Michael Matthews claims stage 3 in uphill sprint

Evenepoel gains one second on Roglič in bonus sprint

Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) sped to victory on stage 3 of the Giro d’Italia in Melfi, beating Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) to the line in the uphill sprint.

The Australian jumped with over 200 metres to go at the end of a tricky finale of the 213km stage, holding off the former world champion to complete a day’s worth of work by his team. He has positioned himself on the wheel of Pedersen in the final kilometre as Trek set up their lead-out, jumping from behind and passing the Dane at 200 metres to go.

Pedersen and the Alpecin-Deceuninck duo of Stefano Oldani and Kaden Groves were breathing down his neck in the closing 100 metres, but Matthews simply had too much for his rivals on the closing drag and sealed the third Giro stage win of his career, eight years on from his last.

Pedersen, who had fought back to the reduced peloton after being dropped on the final climb of the day 30km out, came back in the closing metres but couldn’t do enough to overhaul Matthews. Behind them, Oldani seemed to get in Groves’ way, leaving Matthews to finish it off upfront.

“Honestly, I’m just speechless. What I’ve been through these last few months, to now come back with a victory for the team…” Matthews said after the stage. “We rode all day today, and they were fully committed to me for the stage. I don’t have words for the moment. It’s been such a rollercoaster this year, and now already on stage 3 with a stage win, it’s more than I could ever dream of.

“I heard that Pedersen was dropped on the climb, so I was hoping he would be a little bit pinned for the sprint, and I just knew I needed to go a bit early and get the jump on them. Yeah, it worked out.

“At the moment, it’s just been a rollercoaster for me. I just came here to this Giro to have fun, to enjoy riding my bike with my teammates and being with my team. Today it was such a team effort. That was for the boys.”

Aside from the drama of the sprint for the line, there was also some GC action on a stage that didn’t threaten much of it. The second intermediate sprint of the day, just 10km from the finish, saw the massed peloton approaching the finish led by Soudal-QuickStep and Jumbo-Visma, setting up a showdown between GC favourites Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič.

At the line, it was the maglia rosa Evenepoel who came out on top, grabbing three bonus seconds as Roglič crossed the line just after to take two seconds.

The result, along with second-placed man Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) dropping a long way from the line, saw Eevnepoel extend his overall lead from 22 to 32 seconds over new second-place João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates). Roglič, meanwhile, moved up from fifth to third overall but dropped from 43 to 44 seconds down on the Belgian.

How it unfolded

The third stage of the 2023 Giro d’Italia would be the longest of the opening days of the race, taking the riders on a 213km southbound journey from Vasto in Abruzzo to Melfi in Domenico Pozzovivo’s home region of Basilicata.

A largely flat 170km would provide little excitement before the hills late in the stage, the third-category Valico dei Laghi di Monticchio (6.3km at 6.4%) and the fourth-category Valico La Croce (3.1km at 6%). From the top of the latter, 30km of descent and bumpy road lay ahead of the finish.

With only one intermediate sprint lying on the long road to the hills, there was little incentive to get out in the breakaway, leaving just two Corratec-Selle Italia riders – Veljko Stojnić and Alexander Konychev – to ride away at the start.

The pair were given a nudge at the front of the peloton by Trek-Segafredo’s Alex Kirsch, prompting the two-man attack. Nobody went with them, prompting Konychev to turn around and shake his head as they faced an afternoon alone at the head of the race.

As the sprint squads like Trek-Segafredo and Jayco-AlUla took charge of the peloton, the duo were left to race away to a seven-minute lead within the opening 30km.

By the time the race hit the midway point – with little happening on the way – the gap to the break had gone down to two minutes as the peloton sought to keep the situation under tight control on the road to the finish.

The intermediate sprint brought the only real drama on the flat roads. Up front, Konychev and Stojnić rolled over the line. Soon afterwards, Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) proved himself the quickest man in the peloton, beating Arne Marit (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) and Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) to grab six points towards the maglia ciclamino.

As the riders exited Foggia, the jackets came out in the peloton as the rain began to fall, while the gap to the break stuck at two minutes. That advantage had fallen by 30 seconds at the start of the Valico dei Laghi di Monticchio, 40km from the line.

Jayco-AlUla, Trek-Segafredo, and Ineos Grenadiers continued to boss the peloton on the way up, with Trek’s Eritrean duo of Natnael Tesfatsion and Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier taking prominent roles in the pacemaking as the break’s advantage swiftly melted well under a minute.

As sprinter after sprinter dropped out the rear of the peloton due to the high pace up front, neither breakaway man made it to the top of the hill, Stojnić the last of the two caught at 36km to go.

Italian champion Filippo Zana showed his jersey on the front, putting in work for Matthews and keeping the pace up as the likes of stage 2 winner Jonathan Milan and other sprinters like Mark Cavendish went backwards.

Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) made his opening flourish in the final Giro of his career at the top of the climb, jumping from the peloton in the closing metres to grab nine mountain classification points and the competition lead. Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) followed closely behind the Frenchman, picking up four points ahead of the short descent.

Only around 60 riders remained as the group raced into the final 30km, with Valico La Croce lying ahead. The same handful of teams controlling the front, including Ineos Grenadiers, who lined up at the top as Pedersen surprisingly dropped out the rear.

Pinot once again snuck to the front in the dying metres of the climb to take another three points, while off the back, a Trek train worked to get Pedersen back into the group. The Dane made it back at 20km to go, with the easier run-in to Melfi not posing a tougher task than the two climbs.

A spill 15km from the line saw João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) face an unexpected chase back on late in the day, the Portuguese champion making it back 4km later. Up front, Soudal-QuickStep and Jumbo-Visma led the way to the intermediate sprint at Rapolla, with Remco Evenepoel grabbing three bonus seconds to Primož Roglič’s two at the line.

Shortly afterwards, Trek-Segafredo and Jayco-AlUla came to the fore once again, setting up a sprint finish featuring Pedersen, Matthews, and Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck). The final 5km saw the Australian squad take it over with Trek-Segafredo lined up behind them, only for the US team to wrest control at 1.5km to go.

Behind them, there was a fight for Pedersen’s wheel, one that Matthews won in the final kilometre as the Trek men dropped away. Toms Skujins was the last man on the front for Pedersen, but by the time he dropped off, Matthews had already launched, pushing past and on to his first victory of the season.

Race report Laurenz Rex initiates the breakaway and Thomas Champion, Diego Pablo Sevilla, Alexander Konychev, Veljko Stojnic and Filippo Magli join him. The six open up a 4 minutes gap. That’s all they get.

The gap has fallen below 2 minutes when Tao Geoghegan Hart hits the deck in the peloton with 70 kilometres to go. He can’t continue the race. Pavel Sivakov goes down also. He is able to continue, but minutes behind the peloton.

Rex goes alone in the descent of the Passo della Castagnola. Vojnic tracks him down, but he is dropped inside the last 20 kilometres. Rex’ solo ends with 5 kilometres to go.

Cavendish and Ackermann go head to head on the straight before Milan appears fast in the dying metres. Yet, it is Ackermann who wins the race with a millimetres lead to take his first big win in years.

Thomas stays in the race lead ahead of Roglic, while Almeida moves up to third after Geoghegan Hart’s abandon.

That night, imaging tests in the hospital revealed that Tao Geoghegan Hart had sustained a fracture of the left hip.
