‘I believe I will be in very, very good shape for the Tour de France’ – Jonas Vingegaard allows himself a week of post-Giro rest before eyeing up yellow jersey

Jonas Vingegaard opted for a Roman holiday and plans to enjoy some Italian pasta and wine after winning the Giro d’Italia but he also knows that the clock is ticking to the start of the Tour de France.

The Dane woke up on Monday morning as a Giro d’Italia winner and only the eighth rider to complete the Grand Tour trilogy. He will enjoy a few days in Rome with his family and rest up for a week before a final block of training with his Visma-Lease a Bike teammates at altitude in the French Alps.
