Primoz Roglic completely flew over the time trial, and overthrew Geraint Thomas despite a mechanical problem. His first Giro title, in three participations.

His fourth title in a grand tour, he has already won in Spain in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The outcome of the day also serves as revenge for the Slovenian rider. In 2020, he wore the yellow jersey for 11 days during the Tour de France, before having his hair done at the post by Tadej Pogacar during the 20th stage.
