Giro d'Italia 2025 Stage 10 ITT recap - Daan Hoole surprise winner as Primoz Roglic leaps up standings, Del Toro keeps pink

Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe) bounced back into contention for the pink jersey after putting in the best performance of the GC riders in Tuesday’s sodden Stage 10 – a 28.6km individual time trial between Lucca and Pisa.

Roglic rose five places to fifth on GC while slashing his deficit to race leader Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) to 1:18. Mexico’s Del Toro battled in tough conditions to stay on the top of the pack with a reduced lead of 25 seconds on Spanish team-mate Juan Ayuso.

Victory on the day went to the towering Dutchman Daan Hoole, who sprung a surprise in Tuscany to deliver his Lidl-Trek team their fourth win of the Giro. Hoole held off British duo Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) and Ethan Hayter (Soudal Quick-Step) on dry roads before the heavens opened for the race favourites.

Roglic braved the conditions to take 17th place, 1:15 down on Hoole but enough to see him jump above the likes of Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), who all struggled on the slippery roads.

Bernal, who crashed on the wet roads, dropped out of the top 10 at the expense of Ineos team-mate Thymen Arensman – now tenth at 2:27 – while Italy’s Ciccone and Ecuador’s Carapaz dropped to eighth and ninth.

A solid day for Britain’s Simon Yates saw the Visma-Lease a Bike rider rise to fourth place at 1:03, just two seconds behind Italy’s Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) on the virtual podium.

But the day belonged to 26-year-old Hoole, who benefited from dry roads, a super-solid second half and some serious risk-taking to post his first ever Grand Tour stage win.

And here’s your new-look top 10 after rain caused chaos for the pink jersey favourites. Egan Bernal has slipped out but his team-mate Thymen Arensman is now tenth, while Roglic is back into the top five, as Ciccone and Carapaz drop.

1. Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)
2. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) +0:25
3. Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) +1:01
4. Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Vike) +1:03

10. Xabier Mikel Azparren (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) +54

A first Grand Tour stage win for the Dutch time trial champion Daan Hoole, who is confirmed as today’s Stage 10 winner in Pisa. The Lidl-Trek rider benefited from dry roads – but he still had to beat the big favourite Josh Tarling, so he is a worthy winner. And it’s a fourth win for the Dutchman’s Lidl-Trek team.

But his advantage over team-mate Juan Ayuso will be slashed in the rain. The Mexican crosses the line in Pisa 2:22 down, which is 36th place but enough to keep the pink jersey.

It’s 22nd place for Ayuso in the heavy rain, who comes in 1:34 down on Stage 10 winner Daan Hoole. So, in the end Roglic took time back on his rival – but not a huge amount. Just one more rider to come now.

But first, it’s Antonio Tiberi of Bahrain Victorious, who is 1:53 down on Hoole – a decent performance given the conditions, but he still ships time to Roglic. Ayuso and Del Toro to come.

It’s just 56th place for the Ecuadorian, who crosses the sodden finish line at 2:52. Just three more to go – and the last two, Ayuso and Del Toro, have yet to hit that patch of rain pelting down on Pisa.

We’re hearing that Egan Bernal crashed during his time trial, which explains why he suddenly lost a lot of time in the second half. No images as yet of that incident. We await confirmation from Ineos Grenadiers.

It’s a tricky finale for Giulio Ciccone on the flatstones and tiles of Pisa. The Italian comes home 2:48 down so he will lose time. But that rain will make it hard for the remaining riders – Carapaz, Tiberi, Ayuso and Del Toro.

The Spaniard may be 41 seconds down on Daan Hoole at the second check, but that puts him 12 seconds up on his big GC rival Roglic – and he’ll be within reaching distance of the pink jersey tonight, depending on how Del Toro finishes up.

Simon Yates is 1:43 down on Hoole at the finish – but that’s over a minute quicker than Bernal and his brother, Adam. So he will rise up the standings today – probably above Ciccone and Carapaz, having started in sixth. "A real, real strong ride," says Sean Kelly.

It’s still raining at the finish as Egan Bernal comes home a whopping 2:58 down on Daan Hoole. The Colombian will drop down – and perhaps out of – the top 10 today.

The American crashed badly on Sunday and he’s clearly suffering from his wounds – plus the tricky conditions. He’s only 34th at the finish, 2:23 down.

The Mexican is 1:04 down at the first check – so he’s already lost 26 seconds to his team-mate Ayuso, who is now onto the drier roads around the climb. Ayuso, lest we forget, needed three stitches in his knee after his crash on Sunday. He’s also getting stronger – currently one second better than Roglic at the same point.

The Spaniard, who is wearing the white skinsuit as best young rider, is 38 seconds down on Tarling’s target time at Pontetetto.

Meanwhile, Simon Yates is only six seconds slower than Roglic at the second check – so he’s going very well out there.

The Slovenian is just 1:15 down in Pisa – and with the rain currently hampering his rivals, Roglic could well be taking a lot of time back on some of the other pink jersey contenders out there today.

The Australian is 2:33 down on Daan Hoole at the finish. It will be interesting to compare that with the top 10 riders on GC, who will be arriving in three-minute (give or take) intervals now.

The rain is tipping down - and this is going to make it impossible for anyone to beat Daan Hoole today. It's also going to wreak havoc on the GC.

It started in Pisa and now it's reached Lucca, with Ayuso and Del Toro having to ride their entire TT in heavy rain it seems.
