For the second day running, Primoz Roglic was the strongest of the general classification challengers at the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine. On the summit finish of stage 7, the Slovenian took victory to further strengthen his grip on the Maillot Jaune.
"It probably seems easier than actually it was. It was a hard day, huh?" the BORA - hansgrohe leader reflected in the now typical Roglic fashion in his post-stage interview. With Remco Evenepoel, who started the day 2nd overall being dropped early on the final climb, Roglic also sees his general classification advantage extend to 1:02 from Team Visma | Lease a Bike's Matteo Jorgenson, with third placed Derek Gee at 1:13 down in the fight for the Maillot Jaune.
Also for the second day running, Roglic had a lot to thank super domestique Aleksandr Vlasov for. Vlasov set a formidable pace on the final climb, deterring attack, dwindling the group and catching lone leader Marc Soler. "The guys did an amazing job, having everything under control from the very start until the finish, so I’m glad I had the legs in the end to finish it off," says Roglic.
"At the end, why not?" Roglic concludes. "There was an opportunity, and because the guys did an incredible job. We all still feel it after the crash and these hard days in the legs, nobody feels better, but with the commitment and the work they put in, [it’s] another day that we can celebrate and be happy."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
