Two Grand Tours have been raced by the men's peloton so far in 2025, and at both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, it was the same two teams who fought for the top spot – Visma Lease a Bike and UAE Team Emirates.
Visma's Simon Yates snatched the pink jersey from Isaac del Toro to win Italy with a stunning performance to Sestrière on the penultimate stage, while UAE's Tadej Pogačar defeated Jonas Vingegaard for a second year in a row at cycling's most prestigious race in July.
