Finally he could breathe easy Filippo Ganna after the time trial at Italy is spinning. The Italian cyclist Ineos team He started as a clear favorite in the second and final test of the season 107th edition of the Corsa Rosaa completely flat route of 31.2 kilometers that suits his conditions as a cyclist like a glove and in the end, even with suffering, the Verbania giant (1.93 meters)made good predictions to achieve his first victory of the season and the seventh of the Giro d’Italia, six of them achieved in the race against the clock.
Ganna and Pogacar They are a priori the two big favorites for victory this Saturday, with the incentive to see what can happen to the cyclists who aspire to come out on final photo of the Giro d’Italia in Rome next May 26.
Unlike the time trial of the seventh stage, with the final kilometers uphill, this Saturday’s ITT seems to have been written for Filippo Ganna. After starting the Ineos cyclist set the best time in two intermediate times (7.8 km, in Solferino; and 23.2 in Tower of San Martino), to cross the finish line with a time of 35’02”, at an average speed of 53.435 hours.
Pogacar, from more to less
We had to wait for the race leader to come out, where the IRC was closed, to see how far Pogacar could hold off Ganna. And the truth is that the Slovenian really started to make the Italian nervous the first time he took, where ‘Handsome’ He set the best time, four seconds faster than Ganna.
It is true that the first part of this time trial, with some steep slopes, was more in line with Pogacar’s characteristics, and the proof of this is that at the second reference Pogacar was already ten seconds ahead of Ganna. Filippo can now breathe easy and has a victory in his pocket. Pogacar would take 29 seconds more than Ganna to complete the route, with a time of 35.31, 45 seconds ahead of the Welshman. Geraint Thomasthat in this time trial was on the job and had a good result, fourth best time, allowing him to regain second place overall at the expense of the Colombian Daniel Felipe Martínezwaiting for what will happen on the queen stage this Sunday.
Pogacar said this Friday that he has the intention to finish the Giro and at the moment he is on the right track, thinking about life himself and giving his team a break last week and thinking about Tour de France.
