Thymen and Egan secure fourth and 10th at the Giro

Thymen Arensman crossed the line safely to finish fourth at the Giro d’Italia, his best result to date in a Grand Tour, and was joined in the top-10 overall by teammate Egan Bernal.

The 2026 edition of the race wrapped up in the Italian capital of Rome, with Netcompany INEOS securing fourth and 10th overall in the first Grand Tour with the team’s brand new colours.

All eight riders were able to finish in a race which also saw Filippo Ganna add to his list of Grand Tour stage victories following the stage 10 time trial. Ganna also launched an audacious attack off the front with 18 kilometres to go on the final day, causing panic in the peloton before he was eventually reeled in with 3km remaining.

Both Arensman and Bernal were well supported throughout the three weeks, with the race starting back on the roads of Bulgaria. Playing out in largely warm temperatures, the race saw Arensman spend all but one day inside the top 10 overall, with seven days spent holding an overall podium position, before finally ceding third place on Friday’s 19th stage.

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike) was confirmed as the winner of the maglia rosa, with the Dane joined by Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM) and Jai Hindley (Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe) on the final podium.

Embret Svestad-Bardseng impressed in his first Grand Tour for the team, adding strong climbing support alongside Jack Haig and Magnus Sheffield. Ben Turner picked up a pair of top-five finishes in the opening week of the race in bunch sprints, while Connor Swift played a key role as road captain across the three weeks, working hard across all terrains alongside Ganna.
