The Czech cyclist confirmed the timekeeping quality on the 15.7-kilometer track in Milan. The winner of Friday’s 19th stage closed the Giro in the same way as it started three weeks ago. He was also sixth in the opening time trial in Palermo, a week ago he won fifth place in the second time trial.

The Italian world champion Ganna also won the third time trial of this year’s Gira, which was postponed from the traditional May date due to coronavirus. He defeated the two-time European champion in the race against the chronometer and the world record holder in the watch Viktor Campenaerts by 32 seconds, just third was another Ineos driver Rohan Dennis.

A dream come true! I can’t believe it, swallowed by the moved Black after his triumph on Gira

Twenty-five-year-old Geoghegan Hart entered the final stage at the same time as Hindley, who started in a pink jersey. In the decisive ending, however, he clearly defeated the Australian peer and Giro won after completing almost 3,500 kilometers with a lead of 39 seconds. At the same time, none of them has finished better than 20th in the Grand Tour.

The final time trial of Gira was dominated by the Italian Filippo Ganna, the Czech racer Josef Černý (pictured) was sixth in it.

“It’s bizarre to be honest. I didn’t even imagine this in my wildest dreams when the Giro started in Sicily almost a month ago. I’ve dreamed all my career that one day I’d be in the top ten or maybe even the top five in a race like that. I think that it will take me a while to spend it, “said excited Geoghegan Hart at the finish.

Hindley was reconciled to second place. “What can I say, I’m quite disappointed, but at the same time it’s a great result for me to be on stage in Milan. I’m super-proud,” he said. “Even before the start, I knew it would be hard to beat him in the time trial. I put everything into it, I have nothing to regret,” he added.

Ineos celebrates Giru’s second triumph in two years, with Chris Froome winning in 2018. At the same time, the race started disastrously for the stable this year, because after the fall, team leader Geraint Thomas had to resign at the very beginning.

Hindley’s Dutch Sunweb colleague Wilco Kelderman finished third overall. Portuguese Joao Almeida, who rode in a pink jersey from the third day until Thursday’s royal stage, when he was briefly replaced by Kelderman, finally took fourth place.
