A win and leader’s jersey at Gran Camiño but no time advantage for Josh Tarling

A CORUNA SPAIN FEBRUARY 22 Joshua Tarling of The United Kingdom and Team INEOS Grenadiers celebrates at podium as stage winner during the 3rd O Gran Camio The Historical Route 2024 Stage 1 a 141km individual time trial at stage from A Coruna to A Coruna on February 22 2024 in A Coruna Spain Photo by Dario BelingheriGetty Images.

No time trial bikes, no time gaps counting for GC despite being a stage race and the risk until early afternoon that the opening stage of O Gran Camiño would be cancelled completely.

The current European and British Time Trial Champion was widely tipped to be one of the most serious challengers to Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) on the 14.8-kilometre A Coruña course, where organisers decided that the extremely windy conditions meant the overall battle was put on ice for a day.
