Richard Carapaz faced significant challenges during a rain-soaked stage at the 2025 Giro d'Italia, including a crash and a tough mountain test. Despite the adversity, he emerged in a strong position overall, finishing eighth at the summit of Tagliacozzo. Reflecting on the previous dayâs difficulties, Carapaz acknowledged the importance of staying in contention for the General Classification. He praised his EF Education-EasyPost teammates for their support in navigating dangerous parts of the race, ultimately feeling successful after maintaining his competitive standing.
But after all the challenges of the previous stage, keeping his GC options more than intact on such a hard day must have felt like a victory in itself.
We knew today was a very explosive finish, and the fastest one won. But for my part, we've done very well.
