Race Recap
Primož Roglič wins overall on final day
David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) won the final stage of Itzulia Basque Country race ahead of Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma).
"I’m incredibly happy to win this stage in the Basque Country," Gaudu said. "I haven’t had a major win for a while. It doesn't happen every day that you finish with Primož Roglič, he’s such a strong rider and his work was very important for my win,” Gaudu said.
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) won the overall race after an assault on his competitors on the final climb.
“I am very honoured to have won the overall classification," Roglic said. "Luckily we were spared bad luck this time. This stage was short, but powerful. It was a tough day, but the end result was worth it. I am very proud that we have done the maximum here with a young team. I knew the course. There was nothing left to do but ride hard today. I enjoyed riding in the Basque Country last week. The result only makes it better. I am proud of the talented team we have raced with this week. Jonas’ second place in the general classification is a nice reward for his strong performance.”
