Roglic made good use of the chronometer, the problem is elsewhere
Among the favorites for a joint victory on Garo has been Primož Roglič On paper, the best chronometry player, after 11. Stage does not wear a pink T -shirt. But not because he would waste the opportunity in the fight with the stopwatch, he drove completely as expected, and he is separated from the leadership by the gap, which he produced with the resin into the macadam 9. Stage.
We looked at how well Roglic performed on both runs on time (in the 2nd stage in Tirana and in 10. From Lucce to Pisa). Closest to him from cyclists who are still in the fight for the winning stage, Thymmen Arensmanwhich is not surprising, but a little better than expected Juan Ayusowhich was only 35 seconds behind. Such a result would definitely sign a total of a good 40 kilometers of time before the race, but it is true that neither the first nor the second chronometer was selective enough for a more significant difference.

He performed best among the hilly Simon Yatesalso Antonio Tiberi He can be satisfied with a good minute behind. On the contrary, it may be of bad mood Egan Bernal, which, on the way to Pisa, after the fall in the first part of the chronometer, spent the real Calvary.

There are some more opportunities ahead of Roglic, first the demanding Sunday stage with Monte Grappa, and then with the Mountains, the last week of the race across Italy, where we will get the final answer about the winner. The current 1:24 lag behind Isaacom del Toromwho was re -racing impressive yesterday, is not elusive.
