Who is leading the Giro d’Italia? Maglia rosa and general classification standings

Who is leading the Giro d’Italia? Maglia rosa and general classification standings Khelja | 2025-05-15 11:21:23

Mads Pedersen ceded pink to Primoz Roglic after stage two's time trial but was resplendent in the Giro d'Italia leader's jersey once more to double up on sprint victories.

The Lidl-Trek rider became the first Dane to wear pink to victory and took the honours again at the end of a 160km run to Vlore on Sunday.

He secured a hat-trick of stage wins - and a first in the maglia rosa - with victory on stage five and picked up 10 bonus seconds at the day's intermediate sprints.

The 29-year-old now leads the general classification by 17 seconds ahead of Primoz Roglic, the overall race favourite, with Pedersen's teammate - and leader of the best young rider standings - Mathias Vacek rounding out the podium, 24 seconds off the lead.
