Race Recap
Welcome to the Pog Show
Pogacar took yet another win in one of the longest time trials of the season in a surprise surge to the finish of the 40.6km time trial to unseat Filippo Ganna (INEOS).
After Filippo Ganna had set the fastest times at each of the two intermediate checkpoints and held a 47-second lead over the Slovenian before the final climb – thought the game was over. True, the 6.45 kilometers between Ponte Valleceppi and Perugia, all uphill, were certainly more favorable to Tadej, but up to that point, Ganna had only lost a maximum of 32 seconds in that section. Unfortunately for the mighty Italian, Pogačar had studied the racecourse well and managed his energies even better, and his legs, which were indeed different from everyone else’s, took care of the rest.
The clock read 1’04” recovered on the final climb. Pogačar beat everyone in his first time trial of the year. At the finish, Pogačar raised one arm in celebration as a visibly disappointed Ganna could only shrug as he exited the hot seat.
Daniel Martinez finished at 1’50”, Geraint Thomas took two minutes and slipped third overall, Cian Uijtdebroeks almost three.
On the other hand, the fight for podium is getting more and more interesting, as the rest of the Top 10 is packed within two minutes. Five riders are within 1’27’ of each other for the Maglia Bianca: Luke Plapp, the new leader, Cian Uijtdebroeks, Antonio Tiberi, Filippo Zana and Thymen Arensman.
Tadej Pogacar was a newcomer to the top 10 of that's was only change in the points competition after the individual time trial to Perugia. Jonathan Milan still holds the lead in the ciclamino classification.\n
