Jonas Vingegaard will race Tuesday’s stage 10 Giro d’Italia time trial in a skinsuit design originally developed for Remco Evenepoel, with the Dane obliged to race in the maglia azzurra as king of the mountains rather than Visma-Lease a Bike’s usual yellow and black kit.
There has been confusion about the rules regarding race leaders’ clothing, and talk that Vingegaard would prefer to race in his team-issue skinsuit created by Nimbl and tested in the wind tunnel.
However, UCI regulations are clear: ‘Failure to wear the race leader’s jersey, skinsuit or distinctive sign can spark a 1,000 Swiss franc fine, start refused, elimination or disqualification.’
In addition to Vingegaard’s Castelli kit, race leader Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain-Victorious) will race in a maglia rosa skinsuit created by the company, Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) will race in the maglia ciclamino as points leader, and Mathys Rondel (Tudor) will race in a white skinsuit as second in the best young rider competition behind Eulálio.
