"It is too early... Not something we can comment on" - Visma cool rumours Jonas Vingegaard is set for Giro d'Italia debut in 2025
CyclingTuesday, 12 November 2024 at 11:00
The official presentation of the route and profiles of the 2025 Giro d'Italia have been delayed and although their have been a number of reported reasons, one of those is that the race organisers are trying their best to lure Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel.
For the Team Visma | Lease a Bike leader Vingegaard, an appearance at the Giro d'Italia in 2025 would mark a debut at the Italian Grand Tour for the two-time Tour de France winner and former runner-up at the Vuelta a Espana. Over recent seasons the Dane has been focused on the Tour de France, and with a new addition to his young family recently, would the proud family man take on all the rigours of a Giro d'Italia / Tour de France double next year?
Searching for answers about the speculation regarding Vingegaard and the 2025 Giro d'Italia, Ekstra Bladet got in contact with Team Visma | Lease a Bike spokesperson, Thijs Roelen. "It is too early," Roelen insists, pouring water on the flames. "We are in the middle of the process of setting the team's goals. It's a complicated puzzle."
"We have different captains and ambitions, and we want to continue making sports history as a team. That is always our goal," he continues, noting how, like everyone else, Team Visma | Lease a Bike are mostly in the dark about the postponement of the Giro parcours reveal and the possible route the Grand Tour could take in 2025. Like everyone else, we have found out that the presentation of the route is delayed. But we don't know anything about that either, and it's not up to us."
Spanish outlet AS have even reported with near certainty that Vingegaard and Visma have been sent a preview of the course in an attempt to peak interest. When pressed by Ekstra Bladet though, Roelen refuses to give anything away. "It is not something we can comment on," he concludes firmly.

- It just seemed odd that he wouldn't race the V Series like he normally does. I know he raced a V5 on some stages in the Dauphine. I figure he could have received a bonus of some sort for riding it the entire race.awp29-07-2025
- I was thinking he might win the combativity award because he was on the attack almost every day.Ride197429-07-2025

- The SD Worx-Protime leader?? So much for cycling "up to date"...redfishingboat29-07-2025
- I saw the finish. it was a 90 degree corner. the manager’s comments are the same entitled comments out of his rider - which many in the women’s peloton criticize her for. look at Marlen’s recent comments. he says everyone wants to be up front, so does Demi. so is the peloton to create a lane special for her so she can be at the front w/no risk? if you want to be at the front, get there. but if you’re not at the front in a 90 degree, that is your teams fault for poor positioning. she wants to be there, yes, but so does everyone else. get over it. she has no more rights than the other women.mij28-07-2025
- Its a shame when a rider crashes out fir any reason. Sometimes it really seams like the organizers set up some courses and sprint finishes hoping fir a crash because they think that gets more people to watch, like hockey fights and now women basketball fights. The riders need to come together for their safety and protest morecaptmike28-07-2025
- Yeah, it was also nice to see how after all the rivalry and heat of the moment and mind game comments they all made positive comments about the others. Wouldn’t be surprised if even MVDP sent Wout a congratulation message from his sofa.Mistermaumau28-07-2025
- I get all that. it is also hard to compare a rider going for the GC vs stages. Regardless, I think we can all agree - this is a bumper crop of current and up and coming riders. From the current stars of Tadej/MVDP/WVA/Remco/Jonas to the newbies it is so exciting. I have a lot of respect for what Sky did, but it is so fun to see guys actually race bikes. Yesterday’s stage 21 was insane. Watching Tadej/WVA and the group was like watching a bunch of guys riding for fun. no holds barred, just attack the crap out of each other, then shake hands when it is over. so fun.mij28-07-2025
- I did insinuate they all got there differently, Remco got real good real fast, Healy has taken his time to mature, it’s what I’m always saying, every riders develops differently, some very, you cannot predict it. Sure it’s not a perfect comparison, but there are very few others that age that were pitted against each other then. What you forget to consider though is that Remco was already double world champion the year after so he couldn’t have been crap. He also, by the way, ran a 1:16 semi aged 16.Mistermaumau28-07-2025
- Not sure you stay so fit and healthy after a career like that. If you look at some of the past champions ageing and do a survey of age at death, it doesn’t seem worth following their footsteps. How many reached 100?Mistermaumau28-07-2025
Sure the top 1-3, maybe 5, thinking GC contestants got a preview of the route. They need to make sure that someone big still goes for it. And surely, both JV and Pogi got maybe even more then the preview with more details etc. But stop asking and making the same news. You want a first reply that is not gonna happen before the official route is in.
If JV goes, he loses the Tour and might do Vuelta, and Pogi (i hope) will do Tour-Vuelta. So JV loses both.
If Pogi is still ahead. Unless, lets see.
