‘There’s also a race in July I want to do well in’ – Jonas Vingegaard reveals his road from the Giro d’Italia to the Tour de France

Jonas Vingegaard and Visma-Lease a Bike remain cautious and concentrated at the Giro d’Italia but are counting down the days to finale in Rome on Sunday, following their masterplan that is designed to win the Giro but also put the Dane in the best possible form to take on Tadej Pogačar at the Tour de France.

Vingegaard has won four mountain stages and dominated the Giro so far but he and Visma have calculated every move, every attack and every moment of recovery, as he tries to become just the eighth rider in history to complete the Grand Tour trilogy.
