Vingegaard's textbook climbing tactics and a final week full of opportunities – Philippa York's Giro d'Italia analysis

CARI, SWITZERLAND - MAY 26: Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark and Team Visma | Lease a Bike - Pink Leader Jersey competes during the 109th Giro d'Italia 2026, Stage 16 a 113km stage from Bellinzona to Cari 1645m / #UCIWT / on May 26, 2026 in Cari, Switzerland. (Photo by Tim de Waele/Getty Images).

The only predictables in this Giro d'Italia seem to be that Filippo Ganna will win any time trial – stage 10 at nearly 55kph was as dominant as it gets – and Jonas Vingegaard will take the mountain-top finish if the chance is there.

It’s meagre pickings for everyone else, which is why the fight to be in any breakaway has turned into a proper battle each day, and it’s quite telling that there’s only been one day when the peloton allowed the attackers a large advantage.
