What a day, tour and year for Slovenian cycling.  An astounding attack by young Pogačar in today's stage. Primož Roglič with Slovenia's first Grand Tour win. :champion: Two Slovenian riders on the same grand tour podium. Three Slovenian grand tour podiums this year. (None before this year)

 

Roglič:bowdown:x5. Former ski jumper, now grand tour winner. 

Pogačar :bowdown:x10. Just because he is only 20 years old, for his performance today and three stage wins in his first grand tour. What a cyclist he can become. :cheer:

 

 

(Of course there is still one stage left, but hopefully nothing dramatic will happen :fingers:.)

It does depend a little on the situation. Steven Kruijswijk crashed while being nearly sure of the Giro win a few years ago, and his opponents definitely didn't slow down. However, I've got no problem with that: he crashed because of his own mistake and staying on your bike is simply part of being a road cyclist. It's a different thing when you lose time because some people in front of you fell and you just got held up.

And when people are crashing in front of you on a downhill and there’s no way to avoid it.

Man, Pogacar's show today would have been impressive if he was a 5-time GT winner already, what a ride for the ages :bowdown:

It was already sure after yesterday of course, but now it's official: Primoz Roglic and Jumbo-Visma won the Vuelta :bowdown: 

 

Fabio Jakobsen won the final sprint thanks to some epic work by Quick-Step in the final kilometers. Holy smokes, Cavagna destroyed the asphalt by pulling everyone up to over 70 kmh :lol: Then Stybar came in and Richeze showed what an awesome leadout he is by piloting Jakobsen through every potential problem in the last kilometer, that was impressive.
