2026 Giro d’Italia GC shake-up after Viareggio–Massa TUDOR ITT

The 42 km Viareggio–Massa TUDOR ITT, Stage 10 of the 2026 Giro d’Italia, rewarded the sheer power of Filippo Ganna, who dominated the Tuscan time trial ahead of Thymen Arensman and Rémi Cavagna. A stage designed for pure specialists, it created significant time gaps — but above all, it reshaped the general classification of the 2026 Giro d’Italia.

The new GC: Eulálio still in the Maglia Rosa

The Maglia Rosa remains on the shoulders of Afonso Eulálio, who managed the day with great composure. The Portuguese rider limited his losses and retains a 27-second advantage over Jonas Vingegaard, who failed to make the most of the race against the clock but remains in an ideal position heading into the mountains.

Arensman makes a big leap forward

The biggest change comes from Thymen Arensman, who delivered an outstanding performance that allows him to climb three places and move into third overall. The Dutch rider from Netcompany INEOS now sits 1’57” behind the Maglia Rosa, becoming one of the most dangerous contenders in the fight for the podium.

Behind the top three, Felix Gall slips to fourth place but remains fully in contention, trailing by 2’24”. Meanwhile, Ben O’Connor gains ground thanks to a solid time trial, moving up to fifth overall at 2’48”, reigniting his ambitions ahead of the second week of racing.

Pellizzari holds ninth place

A damage-limitation day for Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe: Jai Hindley loses two positions and now sits sixth overall at 3’06”, while Giulio Pellizzari holds onto ninth place, 3’36” behind the Maglia Rosa. Both remain in a GC position that still leaves room for manoeuvre, especially considering the terrain better suited to their characteristics that awaits the peloton.

Completing the top 10 are two of the revelations of this Giro: Michael Storer, seventh at 3’28”, and Derek Gee-West, eighth at 3’34”, both taking advantage of the time trial to consolidate impressive positions. Rounding out the top 10 is Markel Beloki, tenth at 4’16”.

The general classification is therefore becoming increasingly fascinating: Eulálio defends the Maglia Rosa, Vingegaard remains firmly in contention, Arensman emerges as a genuine third force, and the group of podium contenders stays both deep and tightly packed in the standings.
