Finish scene | 
Pascal ACKERMANN (GER/BORA - HANSGROHE) squeezed through a small gap aling the boards and pipped Fernando GAVIRIA RENDON (COL/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) at the line followed by 3 Magnus CORT NIELSEN (DEN/EF PRO CYCLING), 4 Szymon SAJNOK (POL/CCC), 5 Davide CIMOLAI (ITA/ISRAEL START - UP NATION) | 
Give Fernando GAVIRIA a sportsmanship award for fair play.. he could have easily blocked ACKERMANN without being penalized | 
"It was an incredible race today, as we didn't know what it would really be like. In the lead-up to this, I only had one day on the bike, because I was ill before, and so didn't know what my form would be like. But the team did a great job and they trusted me. It was a hard and long sprint, because I came from further back. But I had good speed in the end and I was able to find a gap at the right time and make it across the line first. I am very happy and really want to thank my teammates. I think my form is good and we executed our plan perfectly today. Now the pressure is gone and we can see what’s possible on the next few stages, and hopefully we can take yet another win on a sprint stage. But we also have strong GC riders here, with Konrad and Majka, and so we’re also hoping to perform well there too."- Pascal Ackermann |

Italian National TT champ Filippo GANNA (ITA/INEOS) won the flat 10 km ITT by 18s in 10:42 | 
2nd Victor CAMPENAERTS (BEL/NTT PRO CYCLING) + 18s | 
World TT champ Rohan DENNIS (AUS/INEOS) was 3rd + 26s | 
4th Geraint THOMAS (GBR/INEOS) + 28s for 2nd overall: “I’m pleased with how this week has gone - 2nd is a good result. I feel like I’ll be stronger at the Giro, but so many others will be too! The time trial went well, I paced it pretty well. Perhaps I had a few more seconds in the bank, but not 17 seconds - so that makes me feel better about missing out on the win overall! I’m really excited about riding the Giro now. The Astana guys are going to be a big threat, Wilco Kelderman too - there are lots of big names and very strong teams. Nibali will be better at the Giro too, definitely. It’s going to be very competitive." | 
18th Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) + 50s... good enough for the overall win | 
Looks like a nice peaceful day for a ride | 
35th Rafal MAJKA (POL/BORA - HANSGROHE) + 1:03, 3rd on GC: "I am really happy because my form is getting better and better in time for the upcoming Giro d’Italia. I lost second place in the GC to Geraint Thomas but like I said, my legs are good, and the whole team had a great week with 2 stage victories from Pascal [Ackermann], a lot of podiums and a third place finish in the GC. Now I’m focussed on the Giro d’Italia, I’m going to target it and go for a podium, maybe win a stage too.” | 
Your Stage 8 ITT winner by 18s, Filippo GANNA (ITA/INEOS): “This is a wonderful victory for me. We’ve worked so hard all Tirreno-Adriatico for Geraint [Thomas]. This morning he told me to give it everything and go for the win, and I did. I’m happy as well from the perspective of taking a win for Italy, and I’ve been told that I’ve broken [Fabian] Cancellara’s course record here. Now I’ve got to concentrate on the time trial event at the World Championships where I’ll be hoping to beat my teammate Rohan [Dennis].” | 
Overall race winner by 17s, Simon YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT): “I’m a different rider now compared to how I was in 2018. I am older, I’ve gained more experience and I’ve learnt how to deal with stress. I think I showed this at the Tirreno-Adriatico: I can manage situations better now and stay calm, I think the team trusts me more now as a result.Today I rode a great time trial. I wasn’t sure how much time I could have won or lost against Thomas and Majka. Sometimes I’m good against the clock, but it’s so difficult to say ahead of time. After this result, I’m looking forward to resting up for a few days. Then I’ll be doing some targeted training for the Giro, to push my form ahead of the race’s start. Some big mountains are coming up at the Giro so I would like to do some altitude training. ” |
