Josh Tarling wins Giro d'Italia's Tirana time trial as Primož Roglič takes the leader's maglia rosa

British TT champion Josh Tarling on his way to victory in the Giro d'Italia's time trial in Tirana .

Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) took his first victory in a Grand Tour when he finished one second quicker than Primož Roglič (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) in the Tirana time trial on day two of the Giro d'Italia. The British time trial champion covered the 13.7km course in a time of 16:07, then had to watch as the race's big names attempted to better his mark.

Roglič came the closest of them. Five seconds quicker than the 21-year-old Welshman at the intermediate split at the top of the mid-course climb to Sauk, the 2023 Giro champion maintained a strong tempo all the way to the line, but didn't have quite enough speed to deny Tarling victory.
