Your Stage 1 ITT winner, Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA): “It's true that I've had to wait a lot on the hot seat before I was declared the winner but I'm very happy with this victory. I didn't have any particular tactic except for going as fast as possible. I'm surprised by the gaps. Two days ago I met Gianni Bugno who wore the Maglia Rosa from start to finish [in 1990]. I don't know if I can do this too but the most important is to have the Maglia Rosa in Verona.” | share this photo |
