Despite a measured approach, he emphasized that his team will remain aggressive when opportunities arise.
"There are still plenty of stages I can choose from in the third week. I'm not going to tell which ones we've marked.

We'll pick our moments. I'm not going to ride only defensively, that's for sure."
He expressed optimism about his form while signaling that overall victory requires continued focus until the final day.
"You'll see," he remarked with a smile.
Responding to Rivals and Future Plans
Reacting to comments from competitors like Felix Gall, who suggested the general classification is already decided, Vingegaard remained cautious.
"I can have a bad day, I can fall, I can get sick. But if they think it's already decided, I can benefit from that."
Reflecting on his career after a severe crash in 2024 that caused multiple fractures and a collapsed lung, Vingegaard evaluates his future season by season.
"This is my eighth year as a pro cyclist, and I don't see myself continuing until I'm 35.
I turn 30 this year. I take it year by year, but at the moment I don't see myself stopping.
As long as I enjoy it, I'll keep riding."
He dismissed recent speculation from former Danish cyclist Bjarne Riis about a potential transfer to Netcompany-Ineos. "I don't see myself changing teams in the coming years."
Vingegaard concluded by reviewing the upcoming route.
The next stage departs Tuesday toward a mountain finish in Carì, featuring an 11.7-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 7.9 percent.
