Jai Hindley (Bora-hansgrohe) became the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia. In the final individual time trial of the 21st stage over 17.4 kilometers through Verona, 15th place was enough for the 26-year-old to confidently defend his pink jersey, which he had won just the day before, ahead of Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers).
The podium of the 105th Tour of Italy was completed by the Spaniard Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious), fourth was Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Quazaqstan) as the best Italian. Hindley’s German teammate Emanuel Buchmann claimed seventh place.
Matteo Sobrero (BikeExchange-Jayco) secured the last day’s victory in a time of 22:24 minutes, making the Italian time trial champion 23 seconds faster than the Dutchman Thymen Arensman (DSM), third was his compatriot Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin – Fenix / +0:40), the best German professional was Hindley’s teammate Lennard Kämna in 13th place.

Live in the ticker – Stage 21: Hindley wins Giro d’Italia
Jai Hindley wins the Giro and finishes 15th in the time trial. 10th place for Carapaz. that’s a good finish for the master of his country. Landa finished his time trial in 76th place and third place in the standings.
Live in the ticker – 21st stage: Hindley on the way to the overall Giro victory
11th in the split for Hindley, a second slower than Carapaz. Nibali finishes following 25:00 minutes and claims 4th place in the classification.
Giro live ticker – 21st stage: Landa cannot attack Carapaz
Landa is 88th at the interim. With that, Carapaz is safe – and the visual impression down in the mountain was deceptive.
Bilbao comes to the goal. He is a bit faster than Hirt and keeps the Czech behind. Meanwhile, Hindley looks very relaxed on the mountain.
Live in the ticker – 21st Giro stage: Nibali threatens to fall back
Meanwhile, Nibali lost 38 seconds to Bilbao, who wasn’t particularly fast either. The Italian now only has a 20-second lead over the Spaniard. This can still be unexpectedly exciting.
Hirt finishes 23rd. The Czech can still attack Bilbao – and therefore also Nibali.
Giro live in the ticker – 21st stage: Carapaz has a promising start
Carapaz looks very good on the mountain. Landa also makes a fit impression. Bilbao, on the other hand, was not particularly liquid.
None of the classification drivers are currently achieving good intermediate times. Buchmann is only 105. The German will probably be happy when the Giro is over.
Giro live in the ticker – 21st stage: Hindley starts mission overall victory
Hindley heads into the final stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia. His mission is clear: defend the overall leader’s pink jersey over the final 17.4 kilometers. His bike got some pink details.
Carthy finishes tenth. that’s surprisingly strong, even though he’s been in a great mood the last few days. since Lopez will have to stretch to defend ninth place.
Lopez gets there. He will not make it. Position 52 – too far behind to keep Carthy behind. He is tenth, the Brit ninth.
Live in the ticker: Nibali goes into the last Giro stage
The Messina Shark heads into its final Giro stage. An era comes to an end. Nibali (Astana Qazaqstan) will probably end the Tour of Italy fourth.
Meanwhile, Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) has also entered the race. Valverde has finished his last Giro. He is eleventh overall.
Live in the ticker: 21st stage of the Giro – Buchmann gets started
Emanuel Buchmann is going on the last stage of the Giro d’Italia 2022, following the Tour de France 2019 he will once more finish a big tour in the top ten. Thymen Arnsmann finishes second, the Dutchman 22 seconds behind Sobrero but faster than van der Poel.
Lennard Kämna is eleventh at the finish, his team colleague Jai Hindley in the pink jersey on the roll during the final preparations.
Giro live ticker: The top ten start
The top ten of the Giro are now starting. We have arrived at Juan Pedro Lopez (Trek – Segafredo). He will have to defend his ninth place once morest Hugh Carthy (EF Education – EasyPost). The starting distance is now at three minutes.
Kämna comes 1:12 minutes behind in the meantime in the mountains classification, so he is 13th at this measuring point. Bauke Mollema finished third behind Sobrero and van der Poel, 1:08 behind.
Giro ticker, stage 21: Start for Kämna
Lennard Kämna is now going into the race – he was extremely strong yesterday, but is just as motivated today. We know his qualities in the time trial, what will that be enough for today? The top 20 overall has now started. Wilco Keldermann will also be the next professional from the German team to start just ahead of Bora.
The Brit Ben Tulett (Ineos) with 23:36 new third, he ousted Mauro Schmid.
Live ticker Giro time trial: Van der Poel at the finish
Top favorite Mathieu van der Poel is second at the finish line, 33 seconds behind, clearly missing the best time. Sobrero also drove well downhill, which the winner of the opening round can no longer straighten out. The Italian was even faster than “MVDP” on the descents. The best German so far is Jasha Sütterlin, who worked a lot yesterday and is still in the top ten today with a time of 24:20 minutes in tenth place.
Live in the ticker: 21st Giro stage – clear best time
Italy’s time trial champion Matteo Sobrero from Team BikeExchange conjured up an absolute best time on the course – 22:24 minutes for him! He is 1:16 minutes faster than the previously leading Swiss Mauro Schmid (Quick–Step). That may have been it in the fight for the day’s victory. He was also 17 seconds faster than the Swiss on the descent!

Giro live ticker: First times at the finish
Now the first driver comes to the finish, it’s not Roger Kluge, who was overtaken by Belgian Pieter Serry on the way. The clock stopped at 24:56 minutes at the end of the last meters over cobblestones. The average at almost 42 km/h.
Any driver who is currently on the track actually has no chance if the weather actually improves. Brändle and Dowsett, both good time trialists, didn’t even try to set a good time.
Start list for the Giro time trial
The first starter, Roger Kluge, is a German who leaves the ramp in Verona at 2:00 p.m., then the other drivers follow every minute until they make it into the top ten. For these, the start interval is then increased to three minutes.
Emanuel Buchmann, who is seventh overall, leaves the course at 4:30 p.m., his teammate Jai Hindley in the pink jersey finishes at 4:48 p.m.
Giro time trial: The grand finale in Verona
In the middle of the 17.4-kilometer course in Verona is the last mountain classification of this Giro. But it will hardly decide regarding victory or defeat in the time trial and in the overall standings.
The favorite to win the day is Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin – Fenix), who finished second in the time trial in Budapest. Jai Hindley (Bora – hansgrohe) should hardly be able to take the overall victory away. However, there are still some interesting battles for positions in the top 10.
The course is almost completely identical to the route of the 2019 Giro finals, when Richard Carapaz, wearing the pink jersey, entered the famous Arena in Verona as the overall winner.
Back then, the winner needed 22:08 minutes – so today at 5:11 p.m. we should know what the final classification of this Giro looks like.
