Pre-stage favourite Filippo Ganna (Netcompany-Ineos) pulled out a storming time trial to win at a canter on stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia 2026.
Despite the 42km distance – the longest Giro d’Italia time trial in more than 10 years – the Italian rider put in an ultra-fast 54.9kph ride, to record 45.53 – a full 1.54 ahead of runner-up Thymen Arensman (Netcompany-Ineos).
Further down the top-10 saw multiple GC shuffles with various riders gaining – or losing – unexpected chunks of time.
Afterwards a jovial Ganna – who was no doubt pleased to have finished a two-hour-plus stint in the hot seat – praised his team, and said he was not done yet.
“I think we did an amazing job this winter, especially with the GC riders like Thymen [Arensman], who rode really well for the second place – like at Tirreno-Adriatico [where the pair also finished one-two in the ITT],” he said.
With Friday’s stage finishing in his home town of Verbania, his stage-hunting intentions did not stop today, he said: “From today starts another Giro for Filippo. Now we want another victory in a [road stage]. Why not try Friday for me – as well as another stage, obviously if it’s less than 4,000 metres,” he quipped.
