Will Jonas Vingegaard be at the start of this year's Giro d'Italia? According to sources close to the Danish media Feltet, the two-time winner of the Tour de France and Vuelta a España will be at the start of the pink race next May. Vingegaard had already said in November in Odense that there were possibilities of participating in the Giro, because he had never done it and because it's important to shift focus to other objectives. In November and subsequently in December, the Visma-Lease a Bike champion had said that the choice would be made with his team's management and that the Tour de France would remain the primary objective.

According to what was written by Feltet and then reported by most Danish media, Vingegaard will present his race program next week during the team's media day in Calpe on January 13th, and on that occasion his participation in the Giro d'Italia in addition to the Tour de France will be announced.

The Giro d'Italia will start this year from Bulgaria and will be raced from May 8th to 31st, and the Dane is already announced as the great favorite for the overall victory. At the end of the Vuelta, there was already talk of the possibility of participating in the Giro and starting some Classics, and each time, the Dane has not denied his interest in the pink race.

At the Spanish race, Vingegaard had spoken about the importance of racing the Giro and how, in this way, he could become one of the very few riders to have won all three grand tours and conquer the famous triple crown. "It would be fantastic to win all three. These are the most important cycling races in the world" – Vingegaard said in Odense -. "If I could win all three, it would be crazy for me. As a child, I would never have believed I could win even one, and now I have the chance to win all three".

Last week, the Spanish newspaper Marca had reported, citing sources close to the Giro organizers, an agreement with the Dane to participate in the pink race this year. These rumors, now confirmed by Feltet, seem well-founded and the Dane would start as the number one favorite for the overall victory.
