Mauro Schmid (Jayco-AlUla) claims victory in the Coppi e Bartali, taking both stage 5 and overall honors. In a thrilling sprint finish in Gemona del Friuli, Schmid outpaces overnight leader Axel Laurance (Ineos Grenadiers). The decisive moments unfold on the steep ascent of Cat.1 Monte Stella, where five riders initially break away, but their lead shrinks rapidly. As the race intensifies, Schmid and teammate Alan Hatherly make a bold move on the climb. Despite Ineos's attempts to reel them in, Schmid secures the overall title by a razor-thin margin of bonus seconds over Laurance. Hatherly finishes third, solidifying Jayco-AlUla's dominance in the finale. This victory marks a significant achievement for the reigning Swiss national champion.
