Overview

  • Jonas Vingegaard sealed overall victory at the Giro d’Italia on Sunday, May 31, finishing 5 minutes, 22 seconds ahead of Felix Gall to claim the maglia rosa.
  • He took control with decisive mountain riding, including a late attack on the climb to Piancavallo on stage 20 that stretched his lead to more than five minutes.
  • Vingegaard won five stages across the three weeks and rarely faced sustained pressure from rivals, ending the race with a dominant margin.
  • The final stage into Rome was largely processional and ended in a bunch sprint won by Italian Jonathan Milan while Vingegaard celebrated with his family at the finish.
  • The triumph makes Vingegaard the eighth man to win all three Grand Tours and leaves Team Visma‑Lease a Bike planning to peak him for the Tour de France and a likely showdown with Tadej Pogacar.
