Filippo Ganna delivered on his favorite status in the first stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, winning the 11.5 km time trial in Lido di Camaiore. Ganna completed the course in 12:08 to finish a commanding 22 seconds faster than his Ineos Grenadiers teammate Thymen Arensman, who took runner-up honors on the day. Max Walscheid (Lidl-Trek) was a further four seconds back in third.
Ganna now leads the GC heading into Tuesday's stage 2, which finishes with an intriguing climb that includes some gravel roads.
