Overview
- Jonas Vingegaard secured the Giro d'Italia title on Sunday, May 31, 2026, finishing three weeks of racing in Rome after a dominant performance.
- He controlled the race for much of the event, taking five stage wins, wearing the maglia rosa for multiple days, and finishing more than five minutes clear of his nearest rival.
- Jonathan Milan won the final sprint in Rome while Felix Gall finished second overall and Jai Hindley took third on the general classification.
- Vingegaard said he has regained the sensations lost after his serious April 2024 Itzulia crash and plans a short rest at home followed by an altitude training camp in Tignes to prepare for the Tour de France.
- By winning the Giro Vingegaard joined an elite group of riders who have won all three Grand Tours — Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, Felice Gimondi, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Chris Froome — and his form sharpens the season-long rivalry with Tadej Pogacar ahead of July's race.
