Narvaez in the pink after foiling Pogacar to opening Giro stage
Narvaez stayed on Pogacar's wheel and then surged clear in a three-way sprint after an eventful 140-kilometre stage to Turin, pipping Max Schachmann and Pogacar to the line.
Ineos team-leader Geraint Thomas came in 10th, ten seconds adrift with other contenders Ben O'Connor, Damiano Caruso and Danny Martinez.
Fancied Frenchman Romain Bardet, however, dropped 57sec, which at this early stage does not yet rule him out but is far from ideal.
Narvaez was delighted with the biggest win of his career.
