Magnus Sheffield gave Ineos Grenadiers a second leader's jersey and a second leadership option after the opening time trial of Tirreno-Adriatico, again proving his many talents.

The 20-year-old US rider finished 31 seconds behind teammate and stage winner Filippo Ganna but was only three seconds slower than second-placed Leonard Kamna (Bora-Hansgrohe) and gained significant time on a lot of the overall contenders at this year's Race of the Two Seas.
