Team analysis by Bernard Thévenet, two time winner of the Tour de France.
Vingegaard Of Course!
Weary of his bad luck in the Tour,
Primož Roglič has opted for the Giro and has left defending champion
Jonas Vingegaard in total charge.
I don’t think that this will be hard for the Dane to deal with because this team leaves nothing to chance. He will bear the pressure of being the defending champion, but his team is very strong, with
Wout van Aert, who will retain some freedom and can compete for another green jersey,
Christophe Laporte,
Steven Kruijswijk,
Sepp Kuss and
Tiesj Benoot.
In 2022, the team was competitive on all fronts and seized its opportunities. Opting not to wait for others to fail is a winning strategy.
