Time trial king Ganna at the start of the Tour of Austria
In preparation for the Olympic Games, three of the best time trialists adorn the starting field of the Tour of Austria!
Two-time world champion Filippo Ganna, his designated successor Joshua Tarling and former world champion Tobias Foss are all in the provisional line-up of the Ineos racing team for the Tour of Austria. The trio will be focusing on the prologue on July 2 in St. Pölten during the mountainous week.
Last year's winner Jhonatan Narváez is missing
However, last year's winner Jhonatan Narváez is not in the Ineos squad. With Ganna, however, one of the big names in international cycling is coming to Austria. The 27-year-old Italian was world time trial champion in 2020 and 2021, Olympic team champion on the track in 2021 and is the world record holder in the individual pursuit.
The world hour record holder already has seven stage wins at the Giro d'Italia to his name. He came second in the one-day classic Milan-San Remo in 2023, but he also performs surprisingly well in the mountains despite his weight disadvantages.
The 1.94 m tall Tarling is regarded as one of the potential time trial dominators of the coming years. The 20-year-old Welshman won the European Championships last year and was only beaten by Remco Evenepoel and Ganna at the World Championships. Last weekend, both Ganna in Italy and Tarling in Great Britain won the national time trial titles.
