Josh Tarling, the British time trial champion, achieved his first Grand Tour stage victory at the Giro d'Italia, completing a tense wait post-race that lasted an hour and 28 minutes. After finishing, he had to anxiously watch the remaining competitors, fearing a close challenge from Primož RogliÄ. Ultimately, Tarling's victory was confirmed when RogliÄ finished just one second behind him. Reflecting on his experience, Tarling expressed relief, humorously suggested his height might have contributed, and highlighted the different risks taken by riders competing for overall classification.
The wait wasn't nice, I don't want to do it again. It was a long day for 13km.
I was afraid of everybody... Primož really scared me.
I did everything I could, and it looked like he did as well.
Maybe I took some more risks, he's got GC as well, so he doesn't want to hurt himself.
