Ganna beats Vine by one second
Victory for Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers). The Italian won the time trial in Valladolid by one and eight seconds respectively ahead of Jay Vine (UAE – XRG) and Joao Almeida (UAE – XRG). Due to renewed pro-Palestinian protests against Team Israel – Premier Tech, the course was shortened from 27,2 kilometers to 12,2 kilometers. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma – Lease a Bike) remains in the overall lead. However, Almeida, who finished third today, has closed the gap. The Dane and the Portuguese rider are now separated by only 40 seconds.
