Jonas Vingegaard is back to racing! Dane leads Visma at Clasica San Sebastian together with Sepp Kuss

Team Visma | Lease a Bike have revealed their lineup for the Clásica San Sebastián and it features a relative surprise. Jonas Vingegaard is back to racing in the Basque classic and will automatically be one of the favourites for the final victory.

The Dane had initially said to be planning on racing San Sebastián and the Tour de Pologne following the Tour de France - not taking part in the Olympic Games - but his final days in France were filled with comments of exhaustion, physical and mental. The Dane will welcome a second child during the Vuelta a España which means he will not take part in the Spanish Grand Tour, and will instead likely focus on Il Lombardia and possibly the World Championships.

He will be joined by Sepp Kuss who did not manage to race the Tour de France because of a Covid-19 infection that damaged his preparation, but has returned to racing this week and is on track to winning the Vuelta a Burgos after winning the queen stage. Taking into consideration that the classic takes place the exact day after, he may not be at his freshest level however.

It is a strong lineup for the Dutch team that also features Wilco Kelderman as a strong support rider for the difficult climbs; Dylan van Baarle and Julien Vermote who are on track for the Vuelta a España as well; whilst Thomas Gloag and Milan Vader complete the lineup.
