Dylan Groenewegen leaves bad Dauphiné behind and returns to winning ways at Slovenia

Dylan Groenewegen won the second stage of the Tour of Slovenia. He took his fifth win of the season in Rogaška Slatina.

"I was able to get through the hill zone, thanks to my teammates. Then we made, together with the men of Bahrain Victorious. We had a perfect timing today, but I was caught before the last turn by the men of Bahrain Victorious," the Dutchman described. The run-up to the sprint wasn't perfect, but Luka made a very smart move by making some space for me. That way I could follow other riders and there was room to sprint," he said.
