Fresh off the back of her podium finish at La Vuelta Femenina, 21-year-old Marion Bunel will be back in Grand Tour action at the Giro d'Italia Women from May 30, added to the roster as the replacement for the injured Marianne Vos.

Bunel is quickly realising her potential as a leader at Visma, translating her elite climbing level into results, but she won't be the Dutch team's only GC option in Italy, confirming on Thursday that she would be co-leading with 32-year-old Femke de Vries.
