Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) pulled on the first pink jersey of the 2025 Giro d'Italia after winning the opening stage in Tirana, Albania. The Dane also claimed the lead in the points classification as a result.

The mountains classification is led by Sylvain Moniquet (Cofidis) after the Frenchman secured enough points on the day's sole category two climb to hold off challengers, while the young rider's competition is led by Francesco Busatto (Intermarché-Wanty) after the opening stage.
