Simon Yates said he was in disbelief after winning the Giro d’Italia, the second Grand Tour victory of his career

Simon Yates finds release by finally winning his first Giro d'Italia title after years of heartbreak and misfortune in the Grand Tour.

Britain's Simon Yates secures his first Giro d'Italia title as his Visma-Lease a Bike team-mate Olav Kooij sprints to victory on the final stage in Rome.

Simon Yates is not one to show much emotion. Both he and his twin brother Adam, a fellow pro rider, are famously, determinedly dour. But as the ticker tape flew in Rome on Sunday evening, and Yates held aloft the distinctive Trofeo Senza Fine awarded to the winner of the Giro d’Italia, this proud son of Bury could have forgiven himself a wry smile. Time, as they say, is a healer.

British rider Simon Yates cruised to overall victory in the Giro d’Italia on Sunday — finally winning the race that had eluded him so often. After attacking on the gravel-road climb to take the pink jersey in the penultimate stage on Saturday, Yates finished nearly four minutes ahead of runner-up Isaac Del Toro, the 21-year-old Mexican who wore pink for 10 days before Yates took control. It’s the second Grand Tour title for Yates after he won the Spanish Vuelta in 2018.

Simon Yates trailed Isaac del Toro by 1min 21sec but a remarkable attack helped him claim the pink jersey seven years on from his collapse on the same mountain

Simon Yates produces a stunning performance on the penultimate stage of the Giro d'Italia to snatch the pink jersey from Isaac del Toro - and effectively ensures his second Grand Tour title.

Britain’s Simon Yates will be crowned Giro d’Italia champion in Rome on Sunday after one of the most extraordinary final weekend turnarounds in cycling history.

Simon Yates produced one of the greatest rides of his career on one of cycling’s most grueling climbs to all but win the Giro d’Italia on Saturday. Yates started the penultimate stage in third, one minute, 21 seconds behind previous leader Isaac Del Toro, but the British cyclist launched a solo attack on the beyond-category climb to Colle delle Finestre — the same mountain that spelled heartbreak for him seven years ago — to ride clear of his overall rivals. Yates was openly sobbing after he crossed the line more than five minutes ahead of Del Toro.

Nicolas Prodhomme claims a brave solo win on stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia before Isaac del Toro extends his lead over Richard Carapaz and Simon Yates.

Isaac Del Toro maintained his tight grip on the Giro d'Italia pink jersey on Friday, the first of two massive alpine days. Del Toro even managed to increase his advantage slightly as the Mexican rider edged closest challenger Richard Carapaz to claim second place on the 19th stage and two precious extra bonus seconds. The duo crossed the line 58 seconds behind Nicolas Prodhomme, who claimed the biggest victory of his career on the Queen stage.

Overall leader Isaac Del Toro had a chance to take it relatively easy during the 18th stage of the Giro d’Italia on Thursday, which was won by German rider Nico Denz with a solo breakaway. Del Toro, the first Mexican rider to wear the pink jersey, finished safely in the main pack following the 144-kilometer (89-mile) route from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno, which featured three minor climbs early on before a relatively flat finale. It will likely be much tougher for the 21-year-old Del Toro the next two days, with grueling back-to-back mountain stages before the mostly ceremonial finish in Rome on Sunday.

The Mexican won the first Grand Tour stage of his young career, outsmarting his closest rival Richard Carapaz in Bormio

Not content with being the first Mexican cyclist to lead the Giro d’Italia, Isaac Del Toro claimed a statement win on one of the race’s trickiest stages to add some precious seconds to his slender advantage. The 21-year-old Del Toro had time to raise his arms over his head and then bow as he crossed the line at the end of the 17th stage four seconds ahead of Romain Bardet and overall rival Richard Carapaz. It was Del Toro’s first stage victory in a Grand Tour and might assuage some of his disappointment from the previous day, when he lost nearly two minutes to Carapaz and barely managed to hold onto the leader’s pink jersey.
