Juan Ayuso withdraws from Giro d'Italia after bee sting: ‘I can't see out my right eye'
Juan Ayuso has withdrawn from the Giro d'Italia after a bee sting left the 22-year-old struggling to see. 'Yesterday during the stage, I was stung by a wasp or a hornet, and people can see how my eye looks,' he told Eurosport ahead of Thursday's stage 18. 'I can't see out of my right eye. I'm here because I want to support the team. My team (UAE Team Emirates) told me not to start, but I wanted to at least try, to test myself in the first few kilometres.' Ayuso eventually pulled up and withdrew with around 110km remaining, having already been distanced by both the peloton and grupetto on the opening climb. Juan Ayuso abandona el Giro y se mete directo al coche del equipo.#GirodItalia — (@Eurosport_ES) May 29, 2025 The Spanish rider had also been suffering from a knee injury, having lost almost 50 minutes on the general classification (GC) over the past two days. This has been a chastening Giro for Ayuso, who entered the race with genuine hopes of overall victory — having told Spanish newspaper Marca that anything but a podium would be a disappointment. Advertisement After beating his rival GC contenders to win stage seven — a sharp climb to Tagliacozzo — Ayuso briefly appeared race favourite. However, Ayuso's 21-year-old teammate Isaac del Toro took the Maglia Rosa two days later, distancing his team leader on the white gravel roads of Tuscany. Ayuso needed three stitches on his knee after crashing, which he says has worsened throughout the race. The Spniard was definitely dropped by the peloton on the penultimate climb of stage 16, before riding with the grupetto the following day. Ayuso's withdrawal, given his injuries and lack of form over recent days, is unlikely to significantly affect Del Toro's chances of pink — the Mexican has strong climbing domestiques like Rafa Majka, Adam Yates, and American Brandon McNulty still in support. The Giro returns to the mountains on Friday, ahead of two decisive stages.

Comeback kid Del Toro claims stage but Aussie aces quit
Twenty-four hours after it seemed the maglia rosa was slipping from his grasp Isaac del Toro has reasserted his grip in style winning the 17th stage of the Giro d'Italia with a bold late breakaway. The young Mexican's first stage victory meant the day ended in triumph for UAE Emirates-XRG after an early blow when Australian teammate Jay Vine was forced to retire. On a disappointing stage for Aussies Luke Plapp (Jayco AlUla) also abandoned the race while Michael Storer (Tudor), who had been tipped to climb the GC rankings, and maybe even win the 155km stage from San Michele all'Adige to Bormio, faded to lose more than four minutes on the leader, coming in 29th. He now appears out of contention, being 10th overall, seven minutes 46 seconds adrift of Del Toro. For much of the race, which featured climbs Passo del Tonale and Passo del Mortirolo, amid 3,800 metres of elevation, there was a breakaway which initially included Australians Chris Harper (Jayco AlUla) and Daniel Howson (Q36.5 Pro). That was gradually thinned down until there was just Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL), who was seeking a Giro stage win before his retirement this summer to go with victories in the Tour de France and Vuelta d'Espana Behind them was a bunch of GC contenders from which Storer had been dropped. Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), the 2019 Giro winner, had taken more than 90 seconds out of Del Toro's lead to move within 31 seconds of pink on Tuesday, and tried to repeat the trick on the Mortirolo but the 21-year-old, in his first Giro, caught him as they approached the short final climb of Le Motte before the descent to the finish. Del Toro and Carapaz then burst away to catch Bardet before Del Toro left the pair behind 1700m from the finish. Bardet, crossed the line three seconds after Del Toro, with Carapaz third. Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished fourth, 15 seconds down on Del Toro, to drop behind Carapaz in the general classification. "The finish was very technical, and I had studied every detail. Whoever came through that final corner first was going to win," said Bardet. "Carapaz lost Del Toro's wheel — he was taking those corners like a madman. The road had started to get wet — it was truly impressive. He opened a five-metre gap and that was it." Del Toro now leads overall by 41 seconds from Carapaz, who has a 10-second advantage over Yates. Canadian Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) is the only other rider within three minutes, fourth at 1:57. "I imagined that I could win a stage with the maglia rosa. The Giro has been very good so far," Del Toro said after his win. "The fight for the podium is incredible. Today I realised that I will never give up. I will always try to win. I have nothing to lose. It wasn't any easier today than yesterday." Vine, who crashed badly in the opening week, was 97th at the start, more than two hours behind. He appears to have quit on the category 2 Tonale climb, around 90 km from the stage finish. Plapp, who won stage eight, was similarly placed. After a string of mountain stages, Thursday's will be a largely flat 144 km ride from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno, which will attract the interest of Australian sprinter Kaden Groves. with agencies Twenty-four hours after it seemed the maglia rosa was slipping from his grasp Isaac del Toro has reasserted his grip in style winning the 17th stage of the Giro d'Italia with a bold late breakaway.

Giro d'Italia leader Isaac Del Toro claims statement win in Stage 17
BORMIO, Italy — Not content with being the first Mexican cyclist to lead the Giro d'Italia, Isaac Del Toro claimed a statement win during 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. Del Toro was the youngest rider in 46 years to win in the maglia rosa, since Beppe Saronni — who was also 21 — won a time trial back in 1979. 'It's incredible, everybody wants this and today I realized I will never give up,' Del Toro said. 'And I will always stay one step in front, and I will always try it.' 'I don't have anything to lose and today was not easier than yesterday but for sure I had a better mentality.' With the bonus seconds, Del Toro extended his lead to 41 seconds over Carapaz, the 2019 champion who leapfrogged above Simon Yates into second. Yates is 51 seconds behind Del Toro. It is Del Toro's second Grand Tour. He finished 36th in the Spanish Vuelta last year. The 96-mile leg from San Michele All'Adige to Bormio featured three climbs, including the Mortirolo, one of the Giro's toughest and most famous climbs. It was there that Carapaz attacked but the Ecuadorian cyclist only had a 12-second advantage at the summit and was caught by his rivals on the descent. Del Toro made his move about nine kilometers from the finish, on the toughest section of the category three ascent of Le Motte. Carapaz managed to stick to his wheel but the young Mexican pulled away inside the final two kilometers and kept his small margin on the technical finish. 'I predict with the team something like this will happen and of course you don't want to let go all the GC riders,' Del Toro said. 'And I went to them, I take it easy, I put a little bit of pressure on the other ones after the descent and then I just tried to relax and recover because obviously it was a hard stage, to try to do the last kick and the last climb. 'We make this plan with the team and the team gave me all the confidence to try full gas.' Del Toro became only the second Mexican to win a Giro stage, after Julio Alberto Pérez Cuapio claimed one stage victory in 2001 and two more the following year. Stage 18 is a 89-mile route from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno that features three classified climbs before a relatively flat finale that should end in a bunch sprint. The Giro ends in Rome.
