Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) has won Stage 14 of the 107th Giro d’Italia, the 31.2 km long Castiglione delle Stiviere-Desenzano del Garda Tudor ITT. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) finished second and third respectively.
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Filippo Ganna said: “I suffered a lot today. My specialty, which is time trialling, isn’t like Jonathan Milan’s. He suffers for 70 seconds and once he crosses the line he knows if he’s the winner or not but me… I have to wait for two hours and that’s stressful. At the end I’ve been caught by emotions because we’re in Italy and it makes the moment very intense, especially here close to the Garda lake and the Montichiari velodrome which is a second house for me. It’s nice to get my sixth time trial win at the Giro and also for the GC we’ve done well as a team today. Tomorrow will be a very intensive stage and we’ll fight during the whole last week”.
