Vingegaard Storms to Piancavallo Win to All but Seal Giro d’Italia Title

Vingegaard extended his lead to 5 minutes 22 seconds and moved within one ceremonial stage of becoming the eighth man to win all three Grand Tours.

  • On Saturday, Team Visma-Lease a Bike rider Jonas Vingegaard won stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia, extending his overall lead and effectively clinching the race victory.
  • The pre-race favorite took control of the Giro last weekend, moving closer to his goal of a Giro-Tour de France double this year after winning the Tour de France twice and last year's Spanish Vuelta.
  • Vingegaard launched his attack 10.6 kilometers from the end of the 200-kilometer stage, finishing 5min 22sec ahead of runner-up Felix Gall in the general classification to secure his fifth stage win.
  • Barring incident during Sunday's final stage in Rome, Vingegaard will become the eighth man to win all three Grand Tours, joining cycling legends Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx, and Vincenzo Nibali.
  • Attention now shifts to the Tour de France, where Vingegaard faces his main rival Tadej Pogacar, who skipped the Giro but will compete at the 'Grande Boucle' to challenge the Dane.
