Filippo Ganna — Speaking after the stage finish, winner Ganna said: “It’s never easy to win a time trial even if you do it with good legs and a strong focus. Luckily my body was ready for this effort today. It’s a fantastic result for me and for the team. It was a bit strange to ride in the desert and it’s my first time at the UAE Tour. It’s hard to ride at 55 or 56km/h but I’m really happy today.” Image Credit: AFP
