As it happened: Big reshuffle after crucial Giro d’Italia stage 10 time trial

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) delivered a dominant performance in the Giro d’Italia Stage 10 individual time trial, a 40.2km flat course through Tuscany. The Slovenian phenom not only won the stage by a commanding 17 seconds over Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers) but also significantly extended his overall lead. Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) finished fourth, while Daniel Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) placed 14th, both losing crucial time to the pink jersey.

This result further solidifies Pogačar’s iron grip on the *Maglia Rosa*, pushing his general classification advantage to an imposing 2 minutes and 40 seconds over Thomas, with Martínez a further 18 seconds adrift. Coming after a rest day, this performance dispels any lingering doubts about Pogačar’s form or ability to maintain intensity across three weeks. It’s a stark reminder that even on a course seemingly tailored for pure specialists like Ganna, Pogačar’s all-around prowess remains unmatched, effectively neutering his rivals’ hopes with two-thirds of the race still to run.

Another time trial, another Pogačar masterclass. The only question left is whether anyone else is even racing for the same jersey, or merely for the honour of second place.
