‘I’ve never been super good at it’ – Jonas Vingegaard has ‘terrible’ time trial at Giro d’Italia, but remains in GC box-seat

There has been speculation that Jonas Vingegaard is deliberately holding himself back at this Giro d’Italia, conscious of the fact that the Tour de France is also on his radar.

Judging by the Visma-Lease a Bike rider’s two stage wins to date, where he put time into his general classification rivals without blowing them out of the water, perhaps that is the case. There is also the small matter of more mountains to come at this Giro. Also, it is perhaps in his interests not to take the pink jersey too early, and get Afonso Eulálio and Bahrain Victorious to do more of the work.
