Race Recap
Filippo Ganna opened the 61st Tirreno-Adriatico this morning with a display of time trialling authority that left very little room for anyone else. The INEOS Grenadiers champion won the 11.5km seaside prologue in Lido di Camaiore by 22 seconds — a margin that made it feel as if he was racing at a different pace from the field.
The course was dead flat, a straight out-and-back road along the Tyrrhenian coast with eight metres of elevation gain in total. Alan Hatherly held the hot seat for a surprisingly long time before Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) improved the benchmark and set up an early INEOS one-two before Ganna arrived and turned the day into a coronation. Among the GC contenders, Thymen Arensman was the standout, finishing second overall at 22 seconds. Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) took a solid reading of his form without overextending. One notable moment of misfortune: Oded Kogut crashed hard on the very first corner of his run, a reminder that even the flattest time trial has its dangers. Ganna leads the race tonight.
