Filippo Ganna lined up to the
Renewi Tour on Wednesday, but was unable to follow the peloton in the sprinter's stage to Bilzen. The 28-year-old rider crossed the finish line eight minutes after the winner Jonathan Milan. Following this unsatisfying performance, Ganna did not appear on the starting podium for the individual time trial the following day.
At
INEOS Grenadiers, they are a bit concerned about his physical state of readiness. "His performances in Germany were already much less than what Filippo is capable of," team manager Zakkari Dempster told Het Nieuwsblad. "He was able to recover well for two days and we let him try again here in Belgium. He did his best, but it is clearly not normal that Filippo had to let go in such a stage."
