Simon Yates achieved a lifelong dream by winning the Giro d'Italia, showcasing dominant performance in the final mountain stage. At 32, Yates surpassed expectations, adding a second Grand Tour victory to his resume, following his 2018 Tour of Spain win. Battling past setbacks, he expressed immense pride in his team’s effort over three weeks, emphasizing the victory as a defining moment in his career. With this win, he joins the ranks of notable British winners in Giro history. Teammate Olav Kooij also celebrated victory in the final stage, complementing Yates's accomplishments.
Yates, who had been on the verge of winning the 2018 Giro when he endured a dramatic collapse in the pivotal mountain stage, is the third British rider to win the Italian race.
It's a huge moment in my career, a defining moment maybe, Yates said after the Giro's closing stage in Rome. I don't think anything comes close.
