Van Aert confirms the Giro; Vingegaard is aiming for a Tour-Vuelta double
The Visma-Lease a Bike Team today communicated the programs of its riders regarding the grand tours.
Wout Van Aert confirms his participation in the pink race, probably with the intention of aiming for the stages and the cyclamen jersey. For the rankings, however, there will be the new signing Uijtdebroeks who will be called to the first real test in the three weeks as captain. For the sprints we will focus on the Dutch Kooij who has shown very good things in the last two seasons.
At the Tour the captain will be the two-time reigning champion Vingegaard who will be supported by two very strong climbers in Kuss and Jorgenson .
The Dane will also try to conquer the Vuelta where he will always be joined by Kuss, Van Aert and the young Tullet.
After winning all the grand tours last year, Team Visma will try to replicate the feat in 2024, even if they will have to deal with the absence of a great champion like Primoz Roglic.
