Anything Tadej Pogacar can do... Jonas Vingegaard outlines intentions for Giro d'Italia - Tour de France double in 2025!
Cycling
First rumoured a few weeks ago, talk of Jonas Vingegaard heading to the Giro d'Italia in 2025 has been gaining momentum in recent days, to the point that it seems that it will be a reality. If that happens, it will the Dane's first time ever competing in the fight for the Maglia Rosa.
The Team Visma | Lease a Bike superstar has never participated in the Corsa Rosa, but his interest in it has grown considerably since Tadej Pogacar set out to race (and win) the Giro d'Italia - Tour de France double in 2024. Now, as noted by La Gazzetta dello Sport's journalist, Ciro Scognamiglio, the operation has begun to be seriously considered within the Dutch team.
"Jonas Vingegaard is interested in Giro d'Italia 2025 participation," begins the well respected Italian reporter. "The option will be studied this autumn with Team Visma | Lease a Bike according to our sources."
Jonas Vingegaard will no longer compete until the 2025 season. In the meantime, the Dane will be looking to organize the best possible schedule to make his presence in both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France next season a reality. Over the course of his career, Vingegaard has participated 4 times in the Tour de France, coming out victorious in 2 of them (2022 and 2023) and 2 times in the Vuelta a Espana. But he has never tried the roads and hard climbs of a Giro d'Italia, where Tadej Pogacar is rumoured to be returning to defend his crown next year.
There are still several months to go, but the 2025 season is already getting very, very interesting. To enjoy a double showdown between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar in two grand tours in the same year will be an event that could mark two completely historic editions of the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France.

Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - i did not see it. was the relegation justified or an overly hard decision? and don‘t cross riders deviate from straight lines all the time? bumping into each others when they cut corners, etc … why being more strict with the rules on the finish sprint?Ketterechts08-11-2026

- The UCI do have their favorites.
Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
