I dont follow cycling as before but such dominance by Primoz Roglic at Tour of Basque is incredible.

Just in case you don't follow it enough to know: cycling is not like World Cups in winter sports or something, where usually (almost) everyone is competing. And often those that do compete don't compete to win, but to prepare for the Giro d'Italia or Tour de France  

 

Not to take anything away from Roglic's win by the way, he's brilliant and he already has been ever since his move to cycling from ski jumping
