Gallery: A beautiful weekend of racing, a Giro wonderfully poised

Photos from stages 14 and 15 of the Giro d'Italia set the scene for a thrilling conclusion to the race.

If you had any concerns that this year's Giro d'Italia wouldn't be an entertaining affair, those fears have presumably been stamped out by now. It's the second rest day now, with 15 stages completed, and as the cliche goes, it's all still to play for.

Presumably you didn't open this gallery for detailed analysis of the bike race, though – you can check out Kit Nicholson's wonderful post-stage-15 breakdown right here on Escape if you want to know what the final week has in store (spoiler alert: plenty). If you're after great photos from the Giro, though? Well, you're in the right place.

Between Kristof Ramon and Chris Auld (the latter shooting for Gruber Images), we've got a bunch of terrific shots below from the past two stages – stages 14 and 15 – which led us to where we are now: on the precipice of a thrilling final week of the 2025 Giro.

Let's get stuck in, shall we?

Pinarello is celebrating exactly 50 years since its first Grand Tour win. Ineos Grenadiers riders were on a retro-inspired Dogma F inspired by Fausto Bertoglio's Giro win back in 1975.
Richard Carapaz has had plenty to smile about so far this Giro. One stage win, fourth overall coming into the final rest day – the Ecuadorian's been great.
While he's smiling here, it's been a less positive Giro for 2023 Giro winner Primož Roglič. Crashes, getting caught behind crashes, illness – it hasn't been the Slovenian's race. He's 10th overall with six stages remaining.

Did we do a good job with this story?
