Overview
- Jonas Vingegaard sealed the overall victory at the 109th Giro d'Italia on Sunday in Rome and joined the eight-rider club to have won the Giro, Tour and Vuelta.
- The race was decided on the penultimate mountain stage into Piancavallo when Vingegaard launched a long solo attack on Saturday that won the stage and stretched his GC lead to about 5:22.
- Sepp Kuss, Vingegaard's team teammate, won the previous 'king' stage (stage 19) to complete his set of Grand Tour stage wins and Jhonatan Narváez abandoned after a minor crash that ended his points competition hopes.
- The final day into Rome was a procession for the overall leader while Italian sprinter Jonathan Milan took the stage win in a sprint and Felix Gall and Jai Hindley finished second and third overall.
- Race observers say the heavy mountain route and Visma-Lease a Bike's control gave Vingegaard both form and confidence, which could shape the high-profile rivalry with Tadej Pogacar at the Tour de France.
