‘The Giro is not over’ – Jonas Vingegaard cautious but in control as he looks to secure Giro d’Italia maglia rosa in Rome

Jonas Vingegaard enjoyed the third and final rest day of the Giro d’Italia as race leader, patron and undeniable favourite to dominate the final week of racing and then triumph in Rome next Sunday.

The Visma-Lease a Bike rider seemed to relish his first day in the maglia rosa during the stage to Milan and quickly showed his authority and influence on the race by pushing the UCI commissaire and organisers RCS Sport to neutralise the final city centre lap and take the GC times with 16km to race.
