Overview
- Vingegaard secured the 2026 Giro d’Italia on Sunday, finishing 5 minutes 22 seconds ahead of Felix Gall with Jai Hindley third.
- He effectively clinched the race on stage 20 when a bold attack on the Piancavallo climb opened a gap of more than five minutes over his rivals.
- The final stage into Rome was largely ceremonial and ended in a bunch sprint won by Italian rider Jonathan Milan.
- Other final classification winners were Paul Magnier for the points jersey, Giulio Ciccone for the mountains jersey, and Afonso Eulalio for the best young rider.
- Team Visma said it planned Vingegaard’s season to peak for the Tour de France and the rider celebrated in Rome with his family before turning attention to a likely showdown with Tadej Pogacar.
