– Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart won the Giro d’Italia on Sunday, beating Australian Jai Hindley in the final time trial. The 25-year-old started the day 0.86 seconds behind Hindley, but he beat the Australian to win the race by 39 seconds and give Ineos-Grenadiers their second Giro title after Chris Froome’s 2018 triumph, reports Reuters. Dutchman Wilco Kelderman, Hindley’s team mate at Sunweb, took third place overall, 1:29 off the pace after the 15.7-km individual time trial between Cernusco sul Naviglio and Milan won by Italian Filippo Ganna. “It’s incredible. It was impossible for me to even think about winning the Giro when we started in Sicily,” said Geoghegan Hart, who was only his team’s plan B. “All of my career I have dreamt of being top 10 or top five in a race like this. During the ITT (individual time trial) my DS (sports director) told me I was faster than Jai Hindley. When my DS told me not to take risks in the final part I understood I was close to the victory.”
