Daan Hoole Wins Giro d'Italia Stage 10 Time Trial, Isaac Del Toro Retains Lead

Daan Hoole of Lidl-Trek claimed a surprise victory in stage 10 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia, completing the 28.6 km time trial from Lucca to Pisa in 32 minutes 30 seconds, beating pre-race favorite Josh Tarling by seven seconds. Hoole benefited from dry conditions early on, while later starters like Primož Roglič faced rain that slowed their times; despite this, Roglič made up time on many general classification rivals and moved to fifth overall. Isaac del Toro of UAE Team Emirates maintained the overall race lead, narrowly fending off strong performances from teammates Juan Ayuso and Roglič, who are now within striking distance. British rider Ethan Hayter took third place on the stage, and other contenders like Simon Yates improved their standings, while Egan Bernal lost time due to a crash and adverse conditions. The stage highlighted the impact of weather on the time trial, with early starters having an advantage and several top riders experiencing setbacks due to rain. Overall, the race remains highly competitive with UAE Team Emirates riders leading the general classification and Roglič emerging as a significant challenger.
