Ganna takes TT silver in Zurich

Filippo Ganna put in a phenomenal ride to take a close silver medal at the Time Trial World Championships in Zurich.

The Grenadier was representing Italy across the 46.1-kilometre course and pulled back 13 seconds during the final split, crossing the line with a time just 6.4 seconds back on victor Remco Evenepoel (Belgium).

Ganna caught two-minute man Primoz Roglic (Slovenia) at the finish after leaving it all out on course, on the way to a fifth Worlds podium in the last six years.

In the colours of Great Britain, Josh Tarling followed up last season’s third place with a hard-fought fourth place in 2024. The Brit was in the medal battle throughout the intermediate splits, eventually finishing 23 seconds back on bronze medallist Edoardo Affini (Italy).

2022 champion Tobias Foss (Norway) put together a consistent ride on the way to seventh place, with Magnus Sheffield (United States) taking 13th place on the day.
