Visma confident of the Giro-Tour combo as Vingegaard turns attention to July

Along with Jonas Vingegaard's Triple Crown, Visma-Lease a Bike is also celebrating its 10th Grand Tour win in a decade in Rome tonight. But it's not all prosecco and partying; there's another big goal to come in a little over a month's time. Vingegaard will have to quickly put aside his party hat as he goes straight into Tour de France preparation. "It is the tenth victory in a Grand Tour in a short space of time, so we are very happy," Visma-Lease a Bike's Arthur van Dongen said at the finish. "We rode a fantastic race. Not only with Jonas Vingegaard , but with a very strong team. Even though Wilco Kelderman had to go home early, we have really proven once again that it was truly a team effort." Many have repeatedly emphasised that Vingegaard is back to his best, even in the form of his life after a couple of seasons punctured by injury – his horror Itzulia Basque Country crash in 2024, then his concussion at Paris-Nice 2025. But the proof of the pudding will come when he faces Tadej Pogačar in France this July. "I think it is very important that he has demonstrated he is in good form again," Van Dongen went on. "It is now a matter of recovering well and then picking up the right training again. And we have a lot of confidence that this combination could work out very well heading into the Tour. "We are now heading to the podium with the whole group, to then devour the necessary pizzas and beers together," Van Dongen added, pointing out Visma's victory in the teams classification (by over 40 minutes). "Winning together, celebrating together."
