Stage 10 favourite Filippo Ganna (Netcompany Ineos) sped to his eighth Giro d’Italia stage victory in the race’s only time trial after dominating the 42km course between Viareggio and Massa.
The Italian champion passed seven riders en route to the finish, recording a time of 45:53 at the line for an average speed of 54.922kph.
His time was almost two minutes quicker than any of the other riders who had set off before the GC men, with Rémi Cavagna (Groupama-FDJ United) second best at that point, 1:59 down.
Race leader Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain Victorious), tipped by many to lose over 2:24 and with it the maglia rosa today, instead managed to hang on to pink.
Eulálio now holds an 27 second lead over Vingegaard, who surprisingly underperformed to finish just 13th. The Giro favourite recorded a time of 48:53 at the line, losing over a minute to Arensman.
