Jumbo-Visma's Dylan Groenewegen has revealed that while he will be aiming for a sprint victory at the Giro d'Italia in October, his team will be aiming for overall victory at the Tour de France.

Even without the mandatory suspension of the 2020 season due to the coronavirus outbreak, the 26-year-old sprinter would have raced in the Giro, which was originally scheduled to run from May 9 to 31.

"The Giro remains my main goal. In principle, it hasn't changed much from the beginning of the season," Groenewegen said Sunday on the Dutch national broadcaster NOS's program "Studio Sport."

Before the season interruption, Groenewegen had already won three races, including two stage wins at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana in Spain in early February and one stage win at the UAE Tour later that month.

"It's going to be a busy three months with all the calendar changes," he said, referring to the UCI World Tour calendar, which begins with the Strade Bianche on August 1 and runs through to the finish of the Vuelta a España on November 8.

"We don't know yet which races we will restart. It will be announced soon," Groenewegen said.

But what the Dutchman already knows is that he will work with two or three different lead-out riders in the sprints at the Giro, which runs from October 3-25.

"Usually Mike Tunissen and Amund Janssen are my regular riders. They are about to run the Classic, so my lead-outs will be a little different."

The team's full Giro lineup has not yet been announced, but the team will head to Italy with New Zealand's George Bennett as the main GC hopeful.

For the Tour de France, in addition to Kruijswijk, Roglic, and Dumoulin, Tony Martin, Wout van Aert, Sepp Kuss, Robert Gesink, and Lawrence de Plus are scheduled; although announced prior to the COVID-19 crisis, August 29 to September 20, the members will remain the same in the tool.

"I really can't wait to race again," Groenewegen added. 'Especially the numbers and the rhythm of the race.'

"I was lucky to be able to train outside all the time in the Netherlands," he admitted, "and the team e-competitions [indoor races with trainers] were fun and well organized. It kept me mentally fresh."

Groenewegen continued that the coronavirus outbreak in an area close to his home in the Netherlands kept him busy delivering groceries to people who could not get out easily, but he also found time to analyze his sprint successes and failures to try to improve his fast finishes He also found time to try to improve his fast finishes by analyzing his sprinting successes and failures.

"I've mainly analyzed what went well, but I've also learned from what didn't go so well. You should always keep thinking about what can be improved. That way we can stay sharp and focus on winning."
