Tim Merlier took his third stage win in the 2024 Giro d’Italia, besting Jonathan Milan at the line. Tadej Pogacar led his team-mate Juan Sebastian Molano out with 2km to go but it wasn’t enough to upset the top sprinters.
A shortened Stage 16 of the 2024 Giro d’Italia still served up some excitement. Julian Alaphilippe led for most of the stage but no one was stopping Pogacar in his domination of the race. He took his fifth stage win with what looked like little effort.
Filippo Ganna powered to one more victory against the clock at the 2024 Giro d’Italia, something he’s been used to since 2020. He rode to the Garda Lake 29 seconds faster than Tadej Pogacar while his team-mate Thymen Arensman rounded out the stage podium with Geraint Thomas in fourth place.
After a fifth place finish three years ago, Dani Martinez will return to the roads of Italy to compete for GC success in the 2024 Giro d’Italia.
