Report
Filippo Ganna pulled off an incredible climbing performance to take a solo breakaway victory on stage five at the Giro d’Italia.
The Italian forced his way into the move after 50 kilometres, and despite a mountainous course, produced an emphatic ride to power clear of his rivals and the chasing peloton.
The world time trial champion backed up his opening day success, taking his second stage win by 34 seconds in Camigliatello Silano, moving into the blue mountain’s jersey in the process. After working alongside teammate Salvatore Puccio in the break, Ganna pushed clear on the final climb, cresting the Valico di Montescuro with an advantage of just over a minute on the way to his first career victory on a road stage.
Tao Geoghegan Hart was quickly on the scene to embrace his fellow Grenadier after finishing strongly in a reduced peloton behind. The young Brit moved up to 19th overall on the day.
