Overview
- Filippo Ganna dominated the 42 km individual time trial, posting the best time of 45:53 and opening a large gap on pure time‑trial specialists.
- Jonas Vingegaard rode a below‑par time trial and finished well down the standings but used the stage to cut the overall deficit to the leader.
- Afonso Eulálio remains the race leader and increased his advantage to 33 seconds after collecting bonus seconds on the latest stage.
- Jhonatan Narváez scored his third stage win for UAE with a late attack and sprint on the Ligurian coast, giving his team multiple victories in this Giro.
- The route turns more mountainous over the next week, which should favor climbers and is widely expected to determine whether Vingegaard, Eulálio or another contender wins overall.
