Ganna was runner-up in last year's edition of the "Race of the Two Seas" behind Spaniard Juan Ayuso, who is not competing this year.

Slovenian Primoz Roglic, a two-time Tirreno-Adriatico winner, was seventh fastest on the day.

The race concludes next Sunday at San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic coast.
