Behind him the German of the Bora Lennard Kamna at 28”, the American Magnus Sheffield, Ganna’s teammate, third. Tomorrow the second stage, Camaiore-Follonica of 210 km.

Filippo confirms himself as the best interpreter of races against the clock: today’s is his 21st time trial victory, the 23rd overall. Test against time that only xx days ago did not allow him to win his first stage race of his career: in the last stage of the Tour of the Algarve (3rd in the 24.4 km time trial) he recovered 6″ from the Colombian Martinez, but closed the stage race in 2nd place by 2 seconds. “I didn’t like the shifter on the extension anymore but it went well, I shifted with the lower part of the handlebar” said Ganna at the finish.
