Verona solos to Giro stage 15 win, Del Toro retains lead
Carlos Verona claimed his first Grand Tour stage win when the Lidl-Trek rider rode solo to victory on Sunday's stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia, a 219km ride from Fiume Veneto to Asiago. Verona attacked at the foot of the final climb with 44km to go and although several riders tried to give chase, the Spanish climber finished 22 seconds ahead of Florian Stork with Christian Scaroni third. Isaac Del Toro of UAE Team Emirates retained his pink jersey and will take a lead of one minute and 20 seconds into the final week. Pre-race favourite Primoz Roglic finished more than a minute behind the pink jersey group after he lost ground on the final climb.

Verona races to solo Giro stage win as favourite Roglic loses time on leader Del Toro
Carlos Verona raced to a solo victory on stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia as Primoz Roglic lost more time on the pink jersey held by Isaac del Toro. A day after Lidl-Trek lost their team leader, Giulio Ciccone, following a heavy crash, Verona delivered an outstanding response as he claimed his first career Grand Tour stage win – and only his second professional victory – at the age of 32. The Spaniard attacked out of a seven-strong breakaway at the foot of the Dori climb around 45km from the finish of the 219km stage from Fiume Veneto, building a slim advantage by the summit and holding off his challenges over a rolling finale. But behind it was another bad day for pre-race favourite Roglic who was unable to follow the moves of his general classification rivals. Egan Bernal had made the first significant move with an attack on the mighty Monte Grappa midway through the stage, and it was notable that Roglic had no response as Del Toro and others covered the attack. The main leaders came back together on the descent but it had been a preview of what was to come as further attacks followed on the Dori, as Roglic was again distanced, losing 90 seconds by the end of the stage. Del Toro remains one minute 20 seconds ahead of Simon Yates, with the Mexican's UAE Team Emirates teammate Juan Ayuso a further six seconds back in third. But Roglic fell five places to 10th, his deficit to pink just shy of four minutes going into Monday's rest day and the final week of racing.

Mexico's Del Toro completes a full week in pink. He's got 1 more week to go to win the Giro
ASIAGO, Italy — Mexican rider Isaac Del Toro has worn the Giro d'Italia leader's pink jersey for one week. Now he's got one more week to go as the 21-year-old attempts to beat all of the pre-race favorites and claim his first Grand Tour victory. And what a final week it will be, with all of the biggest climbs in this year's race grouped together before the Giro ends in Rome next Sunday. Del Toro closed down attack after attack on the two climbs of the 15th stage Sunday and maintained his advantage of 1 minute, 20 seconds over Simon Yates. Notably, pre-race favorite Primoz Roglic, the 2023 champion who was fifth overall, was dropped on the second climb and lost about 90 seconds in the standings. Spanish rider Carlos Verona got into an early breakaway and won the stage on his own for the biggest victory of his career. The 219-kilometer (136-mile) route from Fiume Veneto to Asiago included a big climb up Monte Grappa at the stage's midpoint. Egan Bernal, the 2021 champion, attacked near the top of Monte Grappa and Del Toro was quick to follow. As was Richard Carapaz, the 2019 champion, before all of the leaders came back together following the descent. There were more attacks on another, shorter climb to Dori, with a summit 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the finish. But Del Toro, the first Mexican rider to wear the pink jersey, was the first to react to all of those attacks, too. Monday is the race's third and final rest day. Stage 16 on Tuesday is one of the race's toughest, a 203-kilometer (126-mile) leg from Piazzola Sul Brenta to San Valentino that includes four major climbs across the Dolomites — including an uphill finish. ___ AP cycling:
