The intense final week of the 2025 Giro d’Italia continues, with more climbing on the menu on an intriguing stage 17 from San Michele all’Adige to Bormio.
This is only a ‘hilly’ stage, officially, although with 3,800m of altitude gain in 155km and the infamous Mortirolo climb involved, that feels a slightly optimistic description. It’s not as tough as yesterday’s stage 16, but the fallout from that is likely to continue today, as the strongest GC riders - at this point Simon Yates and Richard Carapaz - continue to pile the pressure on their rivals.
