Who is leading the Giro d'Italia? Maglia rosa and general classification standings
Ulissi was part of a nearly 20-strong breakaway group that escaped on a frantic, relentless hilly stage in the Apennines, won by Jayco AlUla's Luke Plapp.

Ulissi took third on the stage but the bonus seconds, and a nearly four-minute lead on the peloton, were enough to see him pull on pink and end a four-year drought for a home wearer of the iconic jersey.
The race remains a battle between Roglic and his major rival Juan Ayuso, who won stage seven, and the Spaniard nicked another second battle from the 2023 champion with a late sprint to the line in Castelraimondo.

Jashari set for Milan medical tests in 24-48 hours
Ardon Jashari is expected in Italy tonight for a Milan medical over the next 24-48 hours after a deal was agreed with Club Brugge for a reported €34m plus add-ons, with significant tweaks to the format. The big breakthrough was reported yesterday evening and things progressed rapidly from there, with the Rossoneri agreeing to raise the fixed part of the fee compared to the add-ons. That means the ultimate cost of the operation remains circa €38m, but that the structure of the fee is changed. How Milan got the Jashari deal done BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – MAY 04: Ardon Jashari #30 of Club Brugge KV lifts the Croky Cup trophy after Club Brugge KV defeated RSC Anderlecht 2-1 in the Croky Cup Final at King Baudouin Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. (Photo by Alex Bierens) According to that means €34m fixed, plus €4m in add-ons, with payment spread out over four years rather than five. Jashari had signed off on the personal terms weeks ago, a five-year contract worth €2.5m per season and rising. BERGAMO, ITALY – FEBRUARY 18: Ardon Jashari of Club Brugge KV celebrates victory following the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off second leg match between Atalanta BC and Club Brugge KV at Gewiss Stadium on February 18, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) The player was crucial in getting this over the line by demanding a transfer to Milan, who he had supported since a childhood trip to San Siro, and rejecting more lucrative proposals from the likes of Neom. Now Club Brugge are releasing him to fly out and undergo the medical tests, so he is expected to arrive on Italian soil as early as this evening, undergoing the tests on Wednesday.

Milan Mayor On AC Milan & Inter Purchasing San Siro: 'September Decisive, Sale Of Stadium A Personal Objective'
Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has confirmed that September will be a decisive month in the potential sale of San Siro. Speaking to RTL 102.5 via FCInterNewsit, he revisited the long-standing issue surrounding the sale of the iconic stadium. Of course, it's not just about the venue. AC Milan and Inter have been persistent in their effort to buy San Siro and the surrounding areas. However, the process has not gone as smoothly as the Serie A giants had hoped. Indeed, bureaucratic hurdles and political debates have significantly slowed down the progress. Meanwhile, the Milan clubs remain unfazed, looking to complete the purchase next month. Furthermore, Beppe Sala has made this project a personal mission. Though the sale is beyond his control, Sala wants Milan and Inter to succeed in their ambition to build a new stadium. He views the clubs' joint project as a necessity, especially with the 2032 UEFA European Championship on the horizon. Indeed, Italy will co-host the tournament, with San Siro at risk of being omitted as a host venue. Needless to say, it would be a disaster. Milan Mayor Beppe Sala Offers His Stance on San Siro MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 23: General view outside the stadium prior to the coppa Italia Semi Final match between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 23, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) 'We'll see what happens in September,' Sala said. 'We must go through the City Council because they must approve transactions involving public property. 'San Siro is one of my goals – not the most important, of course – but I've been working on this for years, also out of personal dignity. 'At first, we considered a lease agreement, then we explored renovation, and now we're pursuing a sale,' he continued. 'Out of personal dignity, I want to carry this initiative forward, but it must be approved by the Council. 'From my point of view, I want a clear conscience – I want to do my job to the end. Then we'll see if politics will follow this path. 'What I've noticed – as someone who has always traveled a lot and remains very curious about what's happening around the world – is that major cities usually have new stadiums. 'San Siro isn't new, and I'll stop here because I know this will spark controversy. 'But modern times must push for change. 'Milan is a city of change, so I vote in favor and will vote in favor because I too vote in the City Council. 'Then we'll see what happens.'

Key government members including Italy's defense, foreign and finance ministers also attended the talks.
