Vingegaard seals fifth Giro d’Italia stage to tighten pink jersey bid
Jonas Vingegaard claimed his fifth stage win of the Giro d’Italia on Stage 20 at Piancavallo, with his Visma‑Lease a Bike team controlling the day and DNF/pace decisions sparked by Sepp Kuss’s shaky day. The victory extends his grip on the maglia rosa as the race heads into the final flat stage to Rome, where he could seal overall victory and become the first rider since Chris Froome (2018) to win all three Grand Tours. Vingegaard emphasized his relentless competitive drive, saying, “I’m a cyclist I like to win I want to win as many races as possible,” after the finish, while GC rivals like Gall and Hindley followed behind. Stage results saw Gall second and Hindley third, with the overall standings still favoring Vingegaard entering the finale.
