Tadej Pogacar has extended his Giro d'Italia lead to over three-and-a-half minutes after another strong time trial while Australian hope Ben O'Connor has inched closer to the podium.
With the Giro set to head into the high mountains in a brutal third week, Pogacar took the opportunity to put his key rivals, including O'Connor, to the sword again on Saturday's 31km route from Castiglione delle Stiviere to Desenzano del Garda.
The only surprise was that the Slovenian master didn't grab a fourth stage victory on the circuit around Lake Garda, with Italian time trial king Filippo Ganna this time earning the stage-14 honours with his time of 35 minutes and 2 seconds proving 29 seconds quicker than runner-up Pogacar.
