High mountains set to inspire and ignite Giro d’Italia GC battle behind Jonas Vingegaard while heat could be a factor

With Jonas Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team expected to take control of the Giro d’Italia on Saturday’s mountain stage in the Val d’Aosta, the fight for the podium is set to inspire and ignite the most interesting race between now and Rome.

Vingegaard is only 33 seconds down on Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain-Victorious) but leads a group of GC podium contenders by at least 1:30, with 15 riders within six minutes.
