Jumbo-Visma’s young Dane Vingegaard brings victory tally to four this season

Jumbo-Visma won Cycling Week Coppi and Bartali with Jonas Vingegaard. The 24-year-old Dane won two stages and was no longer surprised in the fifth and final stage, with a start and finish in Forli. The success of the day was there for his compatriot Mikkel Honoré.

Vingegaard, who had already made a strong impression in the Vuelta last year by being able to ride for a long time on the low slope of Angliru as a servant of Primoz Roglic, won his first successful day in Italy on Wednesday and he immediately grabbed the leader’s jersey, which he did not abandon thereafter.

This brings his tally to four wins this season. Previously, he had won an impressive mountain stage in the busy Tour of the United Arab Emirates.

For Jumbo-Visma, the meter is new; the team also won stages in the UAE Tour, Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico with Slovenian Primoz Roglic and Belgian Wout van Aert. And with the New Zealand National Championship, for George Bennett, there are even ten wins.

Honored

On the last stage of Cycling Week in northern Italy, the peloton had to cover 166.2 kilometers on Saturday and cross the Caminate seven times, a climb of 3.6 kilometers at 6.4%. After the third climb, sixteen kilometers still to the finish, a leading group of fourteen men emerged, including the top five in the standings. In the final stages, Honoré left with Vingegaard and the Danes shared the booty.
