Absolutely incredible
G looked to be in all sorts of trouble for most of that climb and he still finished 2nd in the stage
.
Roglicās ride on that climb was amazing
Gutted for G but that was some ride by Roglic
Roglic won it more than G lost it, but still gutting.
Great ride by Roglic.
That must feel good after his capitulation on a similar stage not so long ago ![]()
Shame for G. ![]()
14s difference after nearly 85hrs of bike riding is stupendous.
Gutted for G he has been a total warrior for Sky/Ineos and over the years just ridden his bike without any drama. Having said that chapeau Roglic he has been on the wrong end of a time trial and that must be a total sufferfest unlike any other.
Beaten by the better rider on the day, Roglicās ride was something else and deserved to win the Giro after that. Nothing much G could have done, not legally anyhow. Would have been a great way for him to bow out but not to be.
Thatās the thing with having a TT at the end of a GC race it can upend the whole weeks racing.
But fairs fair and for roglic to win despite a mechanical talks to how strong he is at the end of the Giro.
The Giro has had a flat TT on the last day for the last few years, which would probably have given a very different result.
The last week of this yearās race has been incredibly hard - 3 mountain top finishes and a mountain TT in the last 5 days
.
The Eurosport team commented that Roglic was still struggling with injuries from his crash at the start of the week and got stronger as the week went on. G was more consistent through that week, but didnāt manage to take enough time when Roglic was having his bad day on Tuesday
Cav!!!
Lead out by Gā¦
Get in
Nice of them to start the post tour critās on the last stage, make it more interestingā¦
Youāre not suggesting that Astana paid off all the other sprinters to not sprint for the stage, are you? ![]()

Everyone seemed to be genuinely happy for Cav. He seems to be popular with the other riders and given that itās 15 years since his first Giro stage win, a lot of them were probably inspired by him as kids
I really hope that G and Cav are tucked away in a bar having a beerā¦ā¦stilll in their stinking kit. Face timing Wiggo and ripping each other apart!
