“Hey, this is a great game,” he said after a 60-kilometer breakthrough attempt in Lagos de Covadonga.He can be recognized by a few observers lock up Definitely. Because his stage victory on the 17th day of Vuelta was a real bravery. This not only allowed Roglic to return to the leader’s red jersey. This also opened up a lot of cyclists’ hearts for him, including those who had previously evaluated Slovenians. After winning the final individual time trial on Sunday, they have now achieved a third coup in Spain as a stubborn admirer of details. Second thief.
On this queen stage of Vuelta, which spans three peaks, he is already 60 kilometers away from the finish line. Egan Bernal. The 2019 Tour Champion crosses the Cantabria Mountains with this year’s Giro d’Italia champion and recent years of the San Francisco Cycling champion. The two collected the runaways of the day. Finally, it can be said that Rogridge also left Bernal.
“The course is harder”
“It’s really not planned like that. At first I just followed Bernal. I didn’t think much, I just kept on pedaling, and there is still a long way to go,” Rogridge said afterwards— His joy in hitting the ball is obvious. “I just want to finish quickly,” he said, smiling happily under the mask. Roglic obviously also enjoyed the turbulent 20th stage of the Tour of Europe. Oscar Pereiro, the 2006 Tour Champion, marked a undulating course in the coastal landscape of his hometown in Galicia on Saturday.
“This route is like the classic Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but more difficult,” this is his own description of this route. “It provides a lot of ambushes,” he added. The British of Ineos Grenadiers first shook the most popular field at a fast speed, putting Bernal in white on the podium.However, without him, only the worse teammates succeeded Adam Yates Enter the emerging group. This is proposed by the brave Swiss Gino Mäder. The 23-year-old player pushed his captain Jack Haig to third place. Mäder himself fell into the white jersey from Bernal who was suspended.
Miguel Angel López, who is also far away, was still ranked third in the overall rankings on Saturday afternoon, even completely disturbed. Rogridge maintained his sovereignty amidst the turmoil. He took part in the decisive attack and sprinted to second place on the day, again leading his most important opponent by a few seconds. “You can’t always win,” he commented generously to the surprise man Clement Champson’s victory that day. Of course, this sentence refers only to stages. Slovenians like to win the tour on their own.
In this Tour of the City Tournament, he made it clear early on how serious he was for the third consecutive championship. From the beginning, Roglic was in a leading position. He won the opening time trial in the shadow of Burgos Cathedral. He is the patron who decides when to allow which separation group to go and how long. He developed into a command of power control.
Get extra seconds through placement
Because of the men’s team, he also gave them red jerseys to ensure that his own assistant can save energy. The Belgian second division partner Intermarché Wanty Gobert is particularly prominent. The team consists of two men, Estonian Rein Taramäe and Norwegian Odd Christian Eiking, each topping the list within a few days.
When the mountain became steeper, Rogridge was always there. Won two mountain stages, plus three mountain second places, and the second day of Saturday’s 20th stage. The top position also earned him an extra 44 seconds. Because the Olympic time trial champion is also undisputed in his expertise, no one can expect it. The true master of all courses.
