The Italian Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) ensured after his victory in the time trial of Valladolidthe twenty-seventh of his career and the first he achieved on Spanish territory, that he was “very happy” on a day in which he said he “enjoyed a lot”.
“After winning two stages in Turn around, winning it is a goal and a dream. Now we have two more weeks to keep trying,” he said after starring in a great time trial in which he beat the world champion in the specialty, Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), by 16 seconds.

After the World Cup, where he was second behind the Belgian, he explained that “I don’t know if the team wants me to be in the Vuelta or not.”
“But I insisted a lot on being here and helping G (Geraint Thomas),” he added.
“To win here is unbelievable. The course is beautiful and we were lucky with the weather,” he said.
About the sprint he played Burriana where he is the second after Kaden Groves (Alpecin) He assured that this was not the modality in which he was most comfortable. “But I will try again if I have a chance or if I get into some escapade,” he said.
Ganna demonstrated on the streets of Valladolid an extraordinary attachment to his machine. “On a route where I pushed as much as possible and took risks, although only on the first descent there was a slightly dangerous point and the rest were quite simple curves.”
The Italian recognized that he used himself to the maximum in the 25.8 kilometers of the route, where he almost adjusted to the limit in each line, and he did not know how to answer if he was able to “do more than what I did” .
