Jonas Vingegaard has kept a low profile and enjoyed some time off since winning the Tour de France but the Dane will lead Jumbo-Visma at Il Lombardia on Saturday, hoping to again surprise his rivals and especially the pre-race favourite and 2021 winner Tadej Pogačar.

Vingegaard took a month off after being feted in Denmark for his Tour de France win, but he then trained quietly in Spain and showed he is on form, even in October, at the CRO Race in Croatia last week.
