Vuelta 2023, Filippo Ganna doesn’t want to stop

The words of the verbanese after the success in Valladolid

It's been a triumphant day for Filippo Ganna, winner for the first time on the roads of the Vuelta a España: the Verbanese champion of the Ineos Grenadiers has indeed excelled in the Valladolid time trial, doing better by 16" than Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) and by 36" than Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma, teammate of the red jersey, the American Sepp Kuss).

"I am really happy – are the words of the Verbanese rider, reported by 'TuttoBiciWeb' – It was a perfect course for me, plus the weather conditions made this time trial really enjoyable. After winning stages at the Giro, winning also at the Vuelta was a big goal".

For Ganna, forò, one victory leads to another and the focus immediately shifts to the rest of the race that will end in Madrid next September 17: "Now I want to complete these three weeks,” he said, “we still have several difficult days ahead. I would also like to try again in some line fractions".

Filippo Ganna è arrived at the Vuelta on the heels of the results that came in Glasgow, including gold in the track individual pursuit (after a resounding comeback against Daniel Bigham) and silver in the road time trial, in the race won by Evenepoel himself.
