Rogers claims maiden national time trial title
While he was winning by three seconds over Chris Froome in Paris and riding very fast on the final climb he made some blunders on the final lap.
He tried to pull away early on the Giro but with a large lead he lost the race.
A very strong Froome then went clear early on, but he had to settle for second as he passed in fourth place on the final climb.
It is the third time for the British rider, who has started his career in this form.
Froome was riding very close to the world's best time trials rider with Simon Gerrans and Mikel Nieve in front, but lost out to the British in last weekend's Grand Tour.
The British overall classification points leader will try to do something similar in this week's Tour of Britain when he faces a big challenge from the team that will be riding behind Simon Gerrans, Simon Yates and the best sprinters at this year's Tour of Poland.
Britain's Chris Froome had his first international podium victory on stage one of the World Tour's Giro d'Italia
Froome won stage 3 on stage 3 and was fourth overall on stage 4 when he was out-dueled by Michael Rogers at the end of the last stage, finishing sixth on the short day with a time of 1'21.333s.
After the stage victory, he went on to beat Michael Rogers and Mikel Nieve in the stage 3 time trial final to win the men's Tour of Britain.
He is currently third overall in the time trial classification, behind Mikel Nieve and Alex Dowsett, but only three seconds away from victory as he crosses the line at Giro d'Italia.
The American is only the second British rider to complete this event's stage 3, the first having finished the last time trial of the Tour of Britain.
It was Wiggins who led the first of the three men's stage 3 times. He went onto finish third overall, having out-dueled the other two riders in the battle for the yellow jersey.
Michael Rogers was not far behind with a time of 1'21.333s
The first overall stage of the Tour of Britain saw British Cycling's Bradley Wiggins beat a world world champion, Simon Gerrans by one minute to half a minute on day four.
After a long stage on Saturday morning, the race returns to the finish of Stage 4 on Monday and if Wiggins wins he will go on to win his third consecutive Giro.
After a few days' break Wiggins returned and took second overall.
