When he hit the mountain, it felt like he was sprinting the way he left his opponents in his wake.To say Primoz Roglic “just” won the stage would be an understatement. He trounced his opposition and made it look easy doing it. He takes over the overall lead from Stefan Bissegger and has a handy 35 second lead. Pierre Lator of France learnt the importance of timing. He had the initial burst at the beginning of the summit climb, (3.1km)which was a bit too hasty in my honest opinion.
