Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) used his time trial skills and talents to win the stage 2 time of the Giro d'Italia around Tirana, as Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) produced the ride of the day to finish a close second and so snatch the maglia rosa from stage 1 winner Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek).
Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) endured a bad day and so failed to get even close to Pedersen, as the Corsa Rosa produced another suprise.
