There were cycling wins to the delight of the whole peloton and yesterday at demanding time trial of the Giro d’Italia of Roglic is a cousin this is one of them. A victory in a time trial worth an entire Giro d’Italia and that, how could it be otherwise, was not without doubt, after the chain of his bike jumped when he was climbing like a rocket. In a Giro made for Belgians Remco Evenepoelthe runner who will embrace the glory now in Rome He is Primoz Roglic, a 33-year-old rocker who is not satisfied with the marketing of the young stars of the peloton and sometimes gives him the feeling of being dropped on the side of the road, while the cars speed past. Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Pidcock or Van Aert.
But Roglic is many roglic And if there’s one thing he’s shown throughout his sporting career, it’s that he knows how to take punches and come out stronger from them, a quality that few can afford. He did this when in his days as a ski jumper he had a fall that almost cost him his life and he saw that he had to leave the trampolines and try his hand at cycling, which he also loved.
In 2020 he lost the Tour de France in the final time trial after being overtaken by many by Pogacar, but he recovered from the mental blow and eventually won his second Vuelta. The following year he had to leave the Tour due to a fall and days later he was announced champion in the olympic time trial in Tokyo. His cycling career is full of incidents, where he always comes out stronger, like having to say goodbye last year to his fourth Lapwhat he took advantage of evenepoel to win his first three-week cycle race. Roglic beat Evenepoel at the Volta this year, he did it again at the Giro and could have a third head-to-head at the Vuelta this year. We will see.
For now, ‘Rogla’ now he will enjoy the last 135 kilometers of the Giro d’Italia, without tension, before conquering his fourth great cycling tour. He, who few thought would win this Giro before the Evenepoel explosion; where few saw him capable of cutting off the 26-second margin he took Geraint Thomas before the decisive time trial began yesterday; which was no longer seen by many as fully capable of winning over brash young cyclists who were hard-climbing; but Roglic, an introverted runner, who doesn’t make much noise, is focused on doing what he does best.
When it’s his turn to be a bad member of his team for a Jonas Vingegaard passed by him he did it and yesterday he was again blessed with Sanctuary of Mount Lussari after the time trial begins Tarvisio. Yes, in Tarvisio, where in 2007 he was proclaimed junior ski jumping world champion in what was his last victory before dedicating himself to real cycling, in a script that seemed to be written.
