Stage 16 was altered so many times and produced a interesting battle between the break and GC group before Tadej Pogacar attacked seemingly with ease and no one could response.

Julian Alaphilippe managed to get in the right move with Mirco Maestri and take a win which was his first grandtour win since 2021 and his first Giro d'Italia win. Bahrain Victorious caused a bit of a scare in the GC group splitting the group momentarily.

On another flat stage Visma Lease A Bike was given more bad news with Cian Uijtdebroeks out of the race and two of his team mates were in the break but the race ended in a sprint with a crash for Fabio Jakobsen and Tobias Lund Andresen while Jonathan Milan won in front of Tim Merlier and Kaden Groves.
