Filippo Ganna won his eighth Giro d’Italia stage in Massa and set a new record speed for a Grand Tour time trial over 40km, but the Italian wants to win even more, with the stage to his hometown of Verbania on Friday the next on his hit list.
Ganna lived up to expectations and his top billing, winning the 42 km time trial in a time of 45:53 at an average speed of 54.905 km/h. He beat Netcompany Ineos teammate Thymen Arensman by 1:53 and everyone else by more than two minutes.
Ganna last won a Giro time trial in 2024 when he beat Tadej Pogačar to win in Desenzano. He has won seven time trials and one road stage. Now he wants at least one more stage before Rome. Verbania seems perfect, with stage 18 from Fai della Paganella-Pieve di Soligo also a possible day for a breakaway and power rouleurs like Ganna.
