Jonas Vingegaard has said he is "really not the only favourite" at the Giro d'Italia, two days before the Italian Grand Tour starts.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider is the overwhelming favourite for the race, especially in the absence of both João Almeida and Richard Carapaz. Vingegaard is the only GC rider in the top-15 of the UCI's ranking to be taking part in the Giro, and is the reigning Vuelta a España champion; he has won both stage races he has taken part in this season.
