Jhonatan Narváez Triumphs in Giro d'Italia Opener, Besting Favorite Pogačar

Ecuador's Narváez seizes the leader's jersey in a surprising victory over two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar in Turin.

Narváez claimed the iconic pink jersey after a strategic sprint finish, outpacing Pogačar and Schachmann.
The stage featured a poignant tribute to the 1949 Superga air disaster, marking its 75th anniversary.
Saturday's route included challenging climbs, with the Superga hill ascent commemorating the Torino soccer team tragedy.
Stage two promises continued difficulty with three classified climbs and a high-altitude finish.
Pogačar, participating in his first Giro d'Italia, was anticipated to dominate but faced stiff competition from Narváez and other riders.
