Italy’s Filippo Ganna dominated stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia with a margin of victory of nearly two minutes.
Ganna, 29, of the British NetCompany Inos Cycling team, beat team-mate Thiemen Arensman of the Netherlands in one minute and 54 seconds, with Groupma-FDJ’s Remy Cavagna of France a further five seconds behind.
Denmark’s Jonas Vingaard, favorite to take the pink jersey for the overall winner in Rome on May 31, finished 13th, three minutes down.
Vingard, a two-time Tour de France winner on the Visma-Liz a bike, failed to take the pink jersey at Massa, near Pisa, as some thought he would. It means Portugal’s unlikely Afonso Eulalio is in the leader’s jersey for a sixth day.
Wingard, however, gained time on Bahrain-Victorius’ Eulalio, who was 41st on the stage. The Dane finished second overall, just 27 seconds off the lead.
Arensman was third overall, with Eulalio a minute and 57 seconds behind.
The 42km time trial – the longest in any Grand Tour for more than a decade – resulted in huge gaps between riders of varying abilities, with many out of breath as they crossed the line.
Ganna, who was time trial world champion in 2020 and 2021 and favorite to win on Tuesday, averaged 54.921km/h for his team, who announced a new sponsorship deal with Danish data company Netcompany ahead of this three-week race.
The deal restores the once-dominant multiple Tour de France winners As a ‘super team’ in sports With one of the highest budgets.
“The team did an amazing job over the winter,” Ganna said afterward. “It’s really nice with such a long time trial – maybe me and some of the other guys were a bit on the limit.
“We hope to enjoy tonight and focus for the last 14 days (of the race).”
