Roglic takes red jersey in the final week
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) again proved his stellar time trial abilities today at the Vuelta, winning the individual time trial. The route was 33.7km long and featured an uphill finish to Mirador de Ézaro.
“It's a nice victory because it's been a long time since I last won a time trial," Roglic said. "It's a super nice day! Surprisingly I felt strong. I expected to suffer a lot more. Many people also expected me to lose time from Carapaz up the hill but we all started from scratch with the same chances. We all know it's not a fun thing to do a time trial but luckily today I had the legs. Better be 39 seconds in the front now than 39 seconds behind. We need to keep the focus. The guys are really strong. We will fight for the overall win.”
Roglic took the win by just one second ahead of the young American Will Barta (CCC Team), while putting a little bit of breathing room between him and Richard Carapaz (Ineos) in the last week of the Vuelta. The Slovenian champion is now 39 seconds ahead of the former La Roja, and Hugh Carthy took fourth on the stage, 25 seconds back, to remain in third place, just 47 seconds behind on GC.
