Ryan Mullen (Trek-Segafredo) won the time trial on stage 3 of the Vuelta a San Juan as Filippo Ganna (UAE Team Emirates) moved into the overall lead of the race.
The 23-year-old clocked a time of 17:43 on the 14.4km out-and-back course in San Juan, raced on road bikes, with Filippo Ganna finishing second at 25 seconds and Rafal Majka (Bora-hansgrohe) finishing third at 30 seconds, a fraction of a second quicker than Gregory Daniel (Trek-Segafredo).
“The course was very well suited to me, maybe I would have preferred it a little bit longer, but it was pretty close to being perfect for me. But I misjudged the pacing a little bit; I went out a little bit too hard and then the last four kilometers it was a pretty hard headwind, and I kind of came off the pace a little bit there”, said Mullen.
“I really suffered in the heat as well for the last four or five minutes, so it was more a case of just hanging on and keeping a little bit of rhythm and not lose too much time. Luckily I held on!”
