168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Filippo Ganna cruised to victory in the prologue of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de la Provence, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ethan Hayter complꦯeted an Ineos Grenadiers one-two in Berre-L’Étang with an assured displ🦩ay on the 7.1km course.

Hayter was in the ho𒊎t seat by the time Ganna rolled down the start ramp, and although the world time trial champion would ultimately beat him by 12 seconds, the Briton had reason to be pleased with his first outing of the new season.

“I was quite surꦯprised with my second place,” Hayter said afterwards, adding th✱at he always expected Ganna to better his time.

“I had a strong feeling he’d b🌠e better today and I think he deserved it. He’s a great teammate. Of course, he’s an example. When you have the best time🍸 triallist in the world in your team, there’s obviously a lot to learn. He’s a great role model.”

Hayter enjoyed a sparkling 2021 season,ꦦ underlining his quality acro🅷ss a variety of terrains with overall victory at the Tour of Norway and stage wins at the Tour of Britain, Ruta del Sol and Settimana Coppi e Bartali. For good measure, he ended his campaign with victory in the time trial at the British Championships.

The 23-year-old’s versatility would ordinarily make him a contender across all four day﷽s of the Tour de la Provence, but he noted that he had only recently returned to full training after contracting COVID-19 last montꦫh.

“I’m happy, I only had two weeks of training since I had COVID,” he said. “It wasn’t my best performance,🗹 so I’m happy with second place and I’m still improving.”

Although Hayter impressed in the sprints at last year’s Tourও of Britain, he suggested that new teammate Elia Viviani would be Ineos’ prime option on Friday’s opening ro🃏ad stage of the Tour de la Provence.

“We’ve got a good team here, it’s going to be a good week to get back into racing for me,” he said. “There’s a flat stage tomorrow, maybe with some wind, and hopefully it will be a sprint for Elia, we’ll see how the finis💃h goes. The day after is kind of unsure, it could be quite hard or it could be a sprint like last year. And for the last stage we have [Richard] Carapaz, who is probably the favourite for a long climb like that. We’ll see what we can do, and we’ll have some fun.”

Ca🌠rapaz placed 53rd in Thursday’s time trial, 38 seconds behind Ganna, though the general classification is likely to be decided in Sunday’s tough summit finish at Montagne de Lure. The Ecuadorian conceded 21 seconds to Julian Alaphilippe (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) and 7 seconds to 2020 winner Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic), but he gained 26 seconds on defending champion Ivan Sosa (Movistar).

Carapaz had missed the final time trial of Étoile de Bessèges after crashing during the race, and he declared himself ౠsatisfied to be back in the saddle ꩵhere.

“I took a few days to recover well and then I did the best I could for the moment,” said Carapaz, wh🐈o confirmed that he remains slated to lead Ineos Grenadiers at the Giro d’Italia in May.

“We’re focused on getting to the Giro in good form. Aඣfter Provence, I’ll go home to Ecuador for 🌳the National Championships and then I’ll do Tirreno-Adriatico and the Volta a Catalunya before the Giro.”
