Stage 15

The road

At the start

Can Milan win in Milan?

Jonas Vingegaard took the maglia rosa on Pila and leads Afonso Eulálio by 2:26, with Jhonatan Narváez now in ciclamino. Today the Giro exhales: 157 pancake-flat kilometres from Voghera to Milan, four laps of a circuit past the old Vigorelli velodrome, and the city's first Giro finish since 2021. Jonathan Milan has had near-miss after near-miss, and this one carries his name.

How it was won

1. 116 km to go

   An unprecedented neutralisation

   After rider complaints about the unsafe finishing circuit — Vingegaard himself pleading with the commissaires — the last lap is neutralised for GC times. With 16.3km to go the favourites sit up and the hunt for the four leaders is on.

2. 25 km to go

   The break refuses to die

   At blistering speed the quartet cling to a stubborn 57-second lead with 5km left, sprinters' teams flinging even their lead-out men into a desperate chase.

3. 31 km to go

   Into the last kilometre clear

   Twenty seconds still in hand at the flamme rouge — just enough for the four to hesitate before opening the sprint as the peloton bears down.

4. 4At the line

   Dversnes shocks the sprinters

   Fredrik Dversnes edges Maestri and Marcellusi for a first-ever Uno-X Giro stage win, Magnier leading the bunch home seconds later to reclaim the points jersey.
