Carapaz triumphs in Giro d'Italia stage 11 as Del Toro extends overall lead
CASTELNOVO NE' MONTI, Italy (AP) — Ecuadorian cyclist Richard Carapaz soloed to victory at the end of the 11th stage of the Giro d'Italia, while Isaac del Toro kept hold of the leader's pink jersey on Wednesday. The 31-year-old Carapaz attacked as the peloton caught the breakaway about 4.5 kilometers (three miles) from the end of the last of the three high-category climbs, and he held his pursuers off to clinch his first Giro stage win since he won the Italian race in 2019. Del Toro edged Giulio Ciccone in a bunch sprint for second, about 10 seconds behind Carapaz, at the end of the 186-kilometer (116-mile) slog from Viareggio on the coast, inland to Castelnovo ne' Monti. The bonus seconds he earned saw Del Toro extend his overall lead slightly to 31 seconds over Juan Ayuso and one minute, seven seconds ahead of Antonio Tiberi. The 21-year-old Del Toro became the first Mexican cyclist to lead the Giro when he finished second on Sunday's ninth stage. Thursday's 12th stage is a 172-kilometer route from Modena to Viadana. The Giro ends in Rome on June 1. ___ AP sports:

Giro d'Italia 2025 LIVE: Stage 11 updates, route and results as race returns to mountains
The 2025 Giro d'Italia heads back into the hills with a tough outing in the Apennines, which could yet see a further shakeup of the general classification. It's officially classed as a 'hilly' rather than mountainous stage, but the 186km run from Viareggio to Castelnovo ne' Monti features 3,850m of elevation and gain and a behemoth of a climb in the category one Alpe San Pellegrino, which last featured in the Giro 25 years ago. The stage comes after an intriguing battle on stage 10's time-trial, in which Daan Hoole took a maiden Grand Tour stage victory, denying Josh Tarling a double against the clock after winning stage two's shorter contre-la-montre in Albania. The GC contenders struggled in wet conditions later on but Primoz Roglic, having slipped to 10th on Sunday, made up more than a minute of his time deficit to reignite his bid for a second maglia rosa after victory in 2023. Good morning Hello and welcome to live coverage of stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia! With all the time-trialling out the way after stage 10, today the race heads back into the mountains (technically it's hilly, but there's an Alpe on the parcours today, so that feels a bit of an understatement). We'll have all the build-up and action right here. Flo Clifford21 May 2025 09:30
