Britain’s Simon Yates sealed his first Giro d’Italia title by safely crossing the line on the final stage in Rome.
The Bury-born rider, 32, took the leader’s pink jersey for the first time in the race on Saturday’s stage 20 with a sublime attack on the penultimate climb, having started the day in third.
Yates celebrated with his Visma-Lease a Bike team-mates in a processional ride around the Italian capital following a meeting with Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican.
Yates’ team-mate Olav Kooij sprinted to his second stage win of the Giro and Visma’s third overall, capping a superb race for the Dutch outfit.
