Tao Geoghegan Hart was able to finish off a strong General Classification challenge at Tirreno-Adriatico to finish third overall at the prestigious stage race.
The Brit was able to safely navigate the final stage, which eventually concluded in a bunch sprint along the coast in San Benedetto del Tronto.
The race continued Geoghegan Hart's strong recent momentum, in a week which saw him battling for stage wins and riding impressively. He eventually came home 23 seconds back on winner Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and just five seconds behind second-placed Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates).
The result also makes Geoghegan Hart only the fifth Brit to finish on the Tirreno podium.
Unfortunately Tom Pidcock was involved in a crash and, as a precaution, withdrew from the race. He was treated by the team's doctor at the bus having sustained mild abrasions. He’ll be undergoing further assessment and treatment.
