Stage 16 was altered so many times and produced a interesting battle between the break and GC group before Tadej Pogacar attacked seemingly with ease and no one could response.

The 31.2km time trial stage saw a battle between the GC riders and Filippo Ganna coming out on top after an intense challenge from Tadej Pogacar and plenty of movements in the Top 10 overall.

On one of the flattest stages of the Giro d'Italia the peloton encountered crosswinds but it ended with a masterclass lead out from Lidl Trek into the sprint for the fast men and Jonathan Milan getting his third victory of the race.

Julian Alaphilippe managed to get in the right move with Mirco Maestri and take a win which was his first grandtour win since 2021 and his first Giro d'Italia win. Bahrain Victorious caused a bit of a scare in the GC group splitting the group momentarily.

On another flat stage Visma Lease A Bike was given more bad news with Cian Uijtdebroeks out of the race and two of his team mates were in the break but the race ended in a sprint with a crash for Fabio Jakobsen and Tobias Lund Andresen while Jonathan Milan won in front of Tim Merlier and Kaden Groves.

It was a stage for the breakaway as Valentin Paret-Peintre dropped Romain Bardet and caught Jan Tratnik but a hard pace towards the end for the favourites and Cian Uijtdebroeks was the rider suffering the most from the big names and Antonio Tiberi gaining ground.
