Although
Primoz Roglic attempted to push the overall leader of the
Giro d'Italia,
Remco Evenepoel at the intermediate sprint, the Slovenian opted against making a similar attempt in the finale of the race.
“It was important to get to the finish line in one piece," the
Jumbo-Visma leader revealed in a post-stage interview with his team's official website. “We did try to get a good result, but that was not the top priority. If the opportunities had been there, we wanted to capitalize on them. But because of all the hectic pace, it is especially good that we stayed out of trouble.”
