Filippo Ganna won the stage 10 individual time trial at the Giro d'Italia on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, covering the 42 km course in 45 minutes 53 seconds [1, 2]. The flat route was the longest time trial in a Grand Tour in over a decade and suited specialists like Ganna, who averaged 54.921 km/h [1, 2].
Ganna finished 1 minute 54 seconds ahead of his Jumbo-Visma teammate Thymen Arensman, who climbed to third overall, trailing the race leader by about 1 minute 57 seconds. Remi Cavagna took third place on the stage, 5 seconds behind Arensman [1, 2].
Jonas Vingegaard placed 13th in the time trial, 3 minutes behind Ganna, and did not take the overall lead [1, 2]. He reduced his deficit to the pink jersey holder, Afonso Eulalio, to 27 seconds, staying second in the general classification [1, 2]. Eulalio, a lightweight climber, said, "I’m not expecting a good time trial. This time trial is totally flat, maximum speed, it’s the worst possible type of stage for a lightweight climber like me. It’s going to be suffering." Despite that, he retained the race lead for the sixth consecutive day [1, 2].
Ganna praised the team’s winter preparations for the time trials, stating, "The team did an amazing job over the winter. It's really nice with a long time trial like this - maybe me and some other guys were a little bit at the limit. We hope to enjoy tonight and stay focused for the last 14 days [of the race]." He also pointed out the team’s overall strength, noting, "We have done an amazing job last winter to prepare for time trials. And it can be seen also with the GC riders of the team, look at Thymen in second place." [1, 2]
Felix Gall, who had been close to Vingegaard in the general classification, slipped back to almost two minutes behind the leader after this stage [2].
Stage 11 is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, with a 195 km ride from Porcari to Chiavari [2].
