Roglič Wins Giro Time Trial and Other Cool News from the World of Cycling

By Monica Buck

Another Monday is here and our news from the world of cycling with it. So, what did you miss?

Roglič does it again

Another time trial and another victory for the Slovenian superstar. Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) landed a huge blow to his GC rivals. The first and second time checks showed only minimal gains in terms of seconds on the likes of Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) and Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), but in the end the 29-year-old crushed it. 1:05 quicker than Nibali, 3:11 over Yates.

Roglič even managed to beat Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Soudal), who, unlike the Slovenian, started on a dry track. However, we should mention that Campenaerts suffered a mechanical and had to change his bike in the last kilometre. Roglič now sits in second place with a comfortable lead on the real GC threats. Is there anyone who can stop him? What do you think?
