Jonas Vingegaard Confirms 2026 Giro d'Italia Debut

The two-time Tour de France winner is reshaping his season to ride the Giro before the Tour.

Overview

  • He and Team Visma–Lease a Bike announced the decision at their training camp in Alicante on January 13.
  • The 2026 Giro runs May 8–31, starting in Nessebar, Bulgaria, and finishing in Rome.
  • Vingegaard says he feels ready for the race and wants to add the maglia rosa to his collection.
  • He plans to race both the Giro and the Tour de France in 2026, echoing Tadej Pogacar’s successful double in 2024.
