Tarling abandons Giro after stage 16 barrier crash
Britain's Josh Tarling has been forced to abandon the Giro d'Italia after a crash on stage 16. Ineos Grenadiers rider Tarling, 21, slid on a very wet surface early on Tuesday's stage and suffered a heavy crash into a barrier. The three-week Italian race began well for the Welsh rider when he claimed his first Grand Tour stage win with victory in the stage two time trial. Tarling was unable to repeat that success in the race's second time trial, but finished second, seven seconds behind Dutchman Daan Hoole, on stage 10. Although there were no further individual efforts against the clock to come before Sunday's finish in Rome, Tarling would have been hoping to complete a three-week Grand Tour for the first time. Roglic loses time as Verona wins Giro stage 15 Tarling was part of a seven-rider breakaway that had established a 30-second lead over the peleton as the race resumed in heavy rain after Monday's second rest day. The Welshman slid out on a roundabout, with his bike going from under him and his body hitting the barrier. Ineos Grenadiers confirmed the 2023 European time trial champion would not continue. "Josh Tarling has unfortunately had to abandon the Giro d'Italia following a crash on today's stage," the team said on social media. "Our team doctor is with him and he is undergoing further assessment. We will provide an update on his condition as soon as possible." Tarling started stage 16 in 101st place - more than two hours behind race leader, Mexican Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates).

Tarling wins Giro stage 2 by a second over new overall leader Roglic
Slovenia's Primoz Roglic at the start of the time trial stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia cycling race, in Tirana, Albania, Saturday, May 10, 2025. (Gian Mattia D'Alberto/LaPresse via AP) cycling British cyclist Joshua Tarling beat pre-race favorite Primoz Roglic by a solitary second in an individual time trial to win the second stage of the Giro d'Italia on Saturday. Roglic moved into the pink jersey, albeit only just. Tarling, who rides for Ineos Grenadiers, finished the 14-kilometer (8.5-mile) route through the Albanian capital of Tirana in 16 minutes, seven seconds. He faced a nervous wait to see if any of the following 58 riders could beat his time. Roglic went close but crossed the line just a second slower, to the obvious relief of Tarling, who shook his head and smiled wryly in the leader's chair. It was a first Grand Tour stage victory for Tarling, who also became the youngest Giro time trial winner in history at 21. Jay Vine was third, three seconds slower than Tarling. Roglic's overall lead was slender. The Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe rider has an advantage of just a second over Mads Pedersen, who won the opening stage on Friday. Mathias Vacek moved into third overall, five seconds behind Roglic. The Giro remains in Albania for Sunday's third stage. The hilly 160-kilometer (99-mile) leg starts and finishes in the coastal city of Vlore, which is directly across the Adriatic from the Italian region of Puglia, where the race will resume on Tuesday after a rest day. The race ends in Rome on June 1. AP cycling: © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.

Welshman Tarling wins Giro time trial in Tirana, Roglic in pink
WELSHMAN JOSH TARLING won stage two of the Giro d'Italia on Saturday, an individual time-trial in downtown Tirana on the second of three days in Albania. In the overall standings, pre-race favourite and 2023 Giro champion Primoz Roglic grabbed the coveted pink jersey from Friday's stage winner Mads Pedersen, who was an agonising two seconds short of clinging on. The 21-year old Tarling of Ineos is a time-trial specialist and finished the 13.7km circuit in 16min 07sec, 1sec faster than Roglic and 3sec faster than Jay Vine. Decked out in the British national time-trial jersey, Tarling held his head in his hands as he watched Pedersen on the home stretch. 'Winning today is truly exceptional. Waiting for the other riders to finish the course was difficult. I don't want to go through that again,' he joked. 'I was afraid of all the favourites. Primoz was really impressive. so this first Grand Tour victory is a new step in my career,' said Tarling, who came fourth at the Olympic Games and might have won but for a heavy fall in tha rain. Belgian star Wout van Aert had been expected to win this stage and claim the pink pullover but never put the hammer down as he struggles to overcome a stomach bug. Of the main overall contenders most of them finished over 30sec down on Roglic, but with a relentless stream of hilly and mountain stages along the 3400km 21-day race, the Slovenian won't be getting excited yet. Advertisement Roglic leads his key rival Team UAE's Juan Ayuso by 16sec, as the 22-year-old Spaniard attempts to defend the title his team won with Tadej Pogacar in 2024. Italian home hope Antonio Tiberi is 25sec down, Simon Yates of Visma is at 33sec and his twin brother Adam Yates of UAE is at 36sec. Two former South American winners of the Giro Richard Carapaz of American outfit EF is 37sec done on Roglic and Colombian Egan Bernal is at 48. Those kind of gaps can go up in smoke over the space of a kilometre in the high mountains during the final week. The final week of the Giro will be decisive with stage 16 featuring five Alpine mountains, and stage 20 ending with a gruelling climb up the Colle delle Finestre to the Sestriere ski resort, the moment when the winner is likely to emerge. The world and Olympic time-trial champion Remco Evenepoel is absent from this Giro, as are two other handy time trial riders Filippo Ganna and defending Giro and Tour de france champion Tadej Pogacar. Albania is hosting the first three days of the 2025 Giro with the Balkan nation enjoying a tourism boom. Sunday's third stage at Valona will showcase some of Albania's prettiest coastline, while the stage itself is largely flat and will favour the sprinters who were dropped in the hills Friday, and who suffered through Saturday's individual effort. – © AFP 2025

Briton Tarling edges Roglic in time trial to win Giro stage two
Cycling - Giro d'Italia - Stage 2 - Tirana to Tirana - Albania - May 10, 2025 INEOS Grenadiers's Joshua Tarling celebrates on the podium after winning stage 2 REUTERS/Florion Goga TIRANA - Welshman Joshua Tarling (INEOS Grenadiers) set a time-trial pace even race favourite Primoz Roglic, could not match to win stage two of the Giro d'Italia by one second on Saturday. Tarling secured his first Grand Tour stage victory after the 21-year-old Briton had a nervous wait to see Roglic come so close, but the Slovenian had to settle for second place with the consolation of taking over the leader's pink jersey. Australian Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) had set the early pace but came in third, three second behind Tarling in the short 13.7km individual time-trial in Tirana. "To win today is definitely exceptional," Tarling said. Vine crashed on Friday's opening stage, but took the lead from Italian Edoardo Affini, before Tarling showed his time-trial prowess. Tarling came third in the 2023 world road time-trial and, racing his first Giro, had to sit and watch as the main contenders attempted to steal the win. "Waiting for the other riders to complete the course was hard too, I don't want to do it again," Tarling said. "It was long. I was afraid of everyone among the favourites." All eyes were on 2023 winner Roglic, and with reigning champion Tadej Pogacar deciding to focus on the Tour de France, the 35-year-old Slovenian is expected to become the oldest ever Giro winner. Roglic, however, fell short, and Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) was well off the pace early in his ride. Van Aert beat Tarling to the bronze medal at last year's Olympic Games. Opening stage winner Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was last to go and despite pushing hard to the end, the Dane finished 12 seconds down in seventh place and lost the overall lead to Roglic by one second. Tarling, racing only his second Grand Tour having failed to finish last year's Vuelta A Espana, became the youngest rider to win a Giro time-trial. Sunday's stage three is the last time the riders will tackle the Albanian roads in this year's Giro, with a 160km ride that starts and finishes in Vlore.
