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.
