Riders of the 2026 Giro d'Italia
The names who lit up the 2026 Giro d'Italia — from overall winner Vingegaard to surprise package Narváez. Which one suits you best?
🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard
The completist
Team Visma–Lease a Bike
Won five stages and the overall title, becoming only the eighth rider ever — and the first since Chris Froome in 2018 — to win all three Grand Tours.
🇦🇹 Felix Gall
The tenacious runner-up
Decathlon CMA CGM
Rode a strong, consistent Giro and finished second, just over five minutes behind Vingegaard — his best Grand Tour result to date.
🇦🇺 Jai Hindley
The seasoned third man
Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe
A former Giro winner (2022) and back on the podium, this time in third. Proved he still belongs among the best in a Grand Tour.
🇳🇱 Thymen Arensman
The quiet climber
Netcompany INEOS
Finished fourth, confirming his growing status as a GC contender, with a strong time trial as the highlight.
🇪🇨 Jhonatan Narváez
The surprise of the Giro
UAE Team Emirates–XRG
Won three stages and wore the maglia rosa for nine days, until Vingegaard overtook him on the Pila climb. The story of this Giro.
🇺🇸 Sepp Kuss
The collector
Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe
Won solo in Alleghe, completing his own collection of stage wins across all three Grand Tours — a unique feat in its own right.
🇮🇹 Giulio Ciccone
The king of the mountains
Lidl–Trek
Claimed the blue mountains jersey, even after losing the final mountain stage to Alleghe — he'd gathered just enough points to win the classification.
🇫🇷 Paul Magnier
The points machine
Soudal Quick-Step
Won three stages, wore the first maglia rosa of this Giro, and ultimately claimed the purple points jersey.
🇮🇹 Filippo Ganna
The time trial machine
Netcompany INEOS
Won the long time trial into Massa in dominant fashion — one of the few riders to genuinely outpace Vingegaard on a single day.
🇮🇹 Jonathan Milan
The closer
Lidl–Trek
Won the chaotic final sprint in Rome, giving the home crowd an Italian celebration on the last day of the Giro on Italian soil.
