There's logically been a lot of discussion in these past two weeks about Visma-Lease a Bike and the Giro d'Italia, given Jonas Vingegaard's recent announcement that he'll be taking part next May. But while Vingegaard wearing pink would become one of the standout images of the 2026 season, it shouldn't be forgotten that over the winter one of Visma's three former Giro d'Italia leaders – Wilco Kelderman and Steven Kruijswijk being the other two – quietly left the ranks of Vingegaard's squad for a fresh start.
Even if there wasn't much of a hubbub when the third of this trio, Attila Valter, ended his three-year stint at Visma-Lease a Bike, in some ways, it wasn't surprising.
