Jonas Vingegaard back to action as he looks to take victory at Itzulia Basque Country
CyclingMonday, 03 April 2023 at 14:15
Jonas Vingegaard is returning to racing this afternoon at Itzulia Basque Country as he looks to regain his winning ways. After a triumphant Gran Camino, he was hit a psychological blow at Paris-Nice where Tadej Pogacar won all three mountain stages.
There Vingegaard finished third, also behind David Gaudu who rode to second. Here he will face the Frenchman once again, in a race that isn't perfectly suited to the Dane but one where he should be a main favourite. The many hilly and mountainous stages in the Basque Country will see Vingegaard in pursuit of the overall win.
Alongside him are some of the riders expected to support him at the Tour de France. Steven Kruijswijk and Attila Valter will be the two most important supporting riders in what will be difficult terrain to tackle, where gaps in descents and splits in the peloton are expected throughout the week.
Rohan Dennis may also be of great help in case he finds his best form. Gijs Leemreize, Sam Oomen and Lennard Hofstede complete the lineup as the base of the team for the week.
Jumbo-Visma for Itzulia Basque Country: Jonas Vingegaard, Gijs Leemreize, Sam Oomen, Steven Kruijswijk, Rohan Dennis, Lennard Hofstede and Attila Valter.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
