Giro d'Italia 2024 stage 14 GC Update: Pogacar strengthens lead, Thomas back up to 2nd and a big rise for Arensman

Stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia 2024 promised to be key for the general classification of the race. In the end, although he couldn't beat Filippo Ganna's stage winning effort, Tadej Pogacar put more significant time into all his other GC rivals.

Finishing 29 seconds down on Ganna, Pogacar has now increased his overall lead to 3:41. Behind him though there is change as Geraint Thomas has reclaimed 2nd place, pulling 31 seconds clear of Daniel Martinez, now third. Both Ben O'Connor and Antonio Tiberi held firm their positions in the top-5 with solid efforts and attentions for them will now turn to recovery ahead of a brutal stage 15 on Sunday.

In the second half of the top-10, there were expected big time losses for the likes of Einer Rubio, Lorenzo Fortunato, Filippo Zana and Romain Bardet with the big beneficiary being INEOS Grenadiers' plan-B, Thymen Arensman who, after a slow start to the opening Grand Tour of 2024, now sits 6:30 down in 6th position in the general classification.

So bad were Rubio's time losses in particular, that the Movistar Team leader has now dropped out of the top-10 completely with the top of the standings now being completed by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team's Alex Baudin.
