Ganna storms to victory on stage 10
Filippo Ganna (IGD) crushed the competition to win stage 10 of the Vuelta a Espana's individual time trial with a time of 27’39’’ over the 25.8km course. The Italian beat world champion Remco Evenepoel (SOQ) by 16 seconds and 20 seconds ahead of Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma).
"I’m really happy," Ganna said. "After the Giro, winning here was a goal and a dream. We have another two weeks to try again. After the Worlds, I didn’t know if the team wanted me or not in the Vuelta but I pushed a lot to be here for G [Geraint Thomas]. To be here is amazing. The course was really nice, and we were also lucky with the weather. I just enjoyed."
Sepp Kuss (Jumbo Visma) successfully defended his red jersey with a stellar performance, losing just 17 seconds to Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) who is second overall. Evenepoel has jumped to third place, and now sits 1’09’’ behind Kuss.
"It was different for sure [to ride an ITT with a leader’s jersey to defend]," Kuss said after the stage. "Actually, I felt surprisingly relaxed. It’s only stage 10 and I knew there’s still so much racing to come and I was just happy starting in the red jersey. It’s the first time I’ve started last in a time trial, so it’s the first time no one passes me in a time trial. I just tried to keep it simple, enjoy the day and push as hard as possible on the pedals! Every time I passed a time check, Addy [Engels], the director in the car, just said, ‘good job’. So I figured maybe I’m not doing so well because there was no reference… But I felt good, and I’m happy with how it went. It’s still a good advantage [on GC] but with what’s to come, one minute can be lost in one stage or even one climb. There are beautiful stages coming, and a lot can happen."\n
