While we await the presentation of the Giro d'Italia 2025, not before having resolved the organizational problems of the start which will take place in Albania, the first names of big names who could be at the start of the race are emerging.
Media as The Latest New or The Sports Gazette they are aiming for the possibility of seeing Jonas Vingegaard in Italy, stating that the runner della Visma is reportedly thinking of following in the Slovenian's footsteps to try for the Giro-Tour double .
The Italian media themselves go further and are betting on the return of Egan Bernal, winner of the race in 2021.
Bernal concluded the 2024 season with a third-place finish at O Gran Camiño , a seventh place at the Paris-Nice before climbing onto another podium at Volta a Catalunya , a fourth place at Tour of Switzerland and complete the Tour de France with a bitter taste in his mouth. The Colombian's participation in the Giro would serve to know his true form after the serious accident he suffered in 2023.
Ineos Grenadiers could focus on at least two captains: in addition to Bernal, the names of Geraint Thomas, already on the podium in the last two seasons, and Thymen Arensman are being mentioned.
