Rohan Dennis sets sights on supporting Jonas Vingegaard in final season - "Privilege to be able to ride with him"

The current year will be Rohan Dennis' final season as a professional cyclist, and he has revealed his last competitive calendar, with races geared towards assisting Jonas Vingegaard.

The Schwalbe Classic marked the beginning of Dennis' season, followed by the Tour Down Under where he secured a victory in the second stage and finished in 50th place overall. He later joined forces with Vingegaard in O Gran Camiño, earning a silver medal in the final stage and finishing 70th in the overall classification.

He will synchronise his racing calendar with Vingegaard's and then explore other racing opportunities as well.“ His form is very good for this time of year and he is still working towards his top form, but I think we can take a lot of confidence from this. There is no doubt that he can win Paris-Nice,” Dennis told WielerFlits. He will take part in Paris–Nice in March and then Tour of the Basque Country in April.

He is aiming for personal success in races such as Tour de Romandie and Tour de Suisse, “I will make an attempt in the Tour de Romandie. I'm going to see if I can do something there. And then I'll ride the Tour of Switzerland,” he said.

While he will not be competing in Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, he is looking forward to his bid for a third world title at the World Championship time trial in August. “I am very happy with this program. I get the necessary chances in those races, but it is also good to go with someone like Jonas. He is one of, if not the best rider in the world. It is a privilege to be able to ride with him,” concluded Dennis.
