Jonas Vingegaard hit back at rivals who have tried to take advantage of his recent illness at the Giro d'Italia, saying 'they can try' but that he was feeling almost back to normal as the peloton raced into Verbania for stage 13 on Friday.
The Visma-Lease a Bike leader, and favourite to win the overall title, was hesitant to speculate how he would be feeling ahead of the next mountain test on stage 14, set to finish atop Pila on Saturday, but said he didn't think his recent illness would affect his performance.
