Tarling places second in stage 10 of Giro d’Italia
Josh Tarling came second in stage 10 of the Giro d’Italia behind Dutch cyclist Daan Hoole, losing by just seven seconds over the course of 28.6km.
Tarling, 21, was the pre-stage favourite after winning the first time trial of the race on stage two, but he was unable to match the performance of Hoole over the 28 kilometre course between Lucca and Pisa on Tuesday.
Lidl-Trek rider Hoole finished seven seconds clear of Ineos Grenadiers’ Tarling with a time of 32 minutes and 30 seconds, with British national road champion Ethan Hayter, 26, 10 seconds back on Hoole in third.
