Jonas Vingegaard is Unstoppable! | Giro d'Italia 2026 Stage 16 Podcast
5/26/202620 min
Stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia 2026 and Jonas Vingegaard made it four summit finishes from four. Bellinzona to Carì - just 113 kilometres but over 3,000 metres of climbing. Visma weren't giving up control today. The break was kept on a tight leash, and when Decathlon took over with 35km to go, the race was about to explode. Piganzoli ripped the selection apart before Jonas even launched. Pellizzari was dropped early. Ciccone, frustrated after another miss in the break, sat up with 17km to go. And when Jonas went at 6.6km to go, nobody could follow. David Millar and Pete Kennaugh step in for Ned and Jacopo to unpack it all. Ned and Jacopo are back tomorrow for Stage 17 coverage as usual.

Visma controlling the peloton again as Jonas said he wants a stage win in pink, and I don't blame him. Navarrre secured intermediate sprint points as that competition hopped up. Milan still without a stage win, and Paul Magnier looking still like a threat, but only one opportunity for another sprint finish before we get to the end of the race. Visma then set a hard pace to the bottom of the climb and dropped most of the group before Jonas even launched for his fourth summit stage victory at the Giro, and putting him four minutes clear of Felix Gall [upbeat music] This podcast is proudly sponsored by Science in Sport.
