The 21-year old hence finds a big obstacle to overcome. Gloag has joined Jumbo-Visma this year after two seasons with Trinity Racing and immediately impressed with a sixth place at the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana. His season then had him change more towards a domestique role, despite an 11th spot at the Tour de Romandie.
At the Giro d'Italia he made his Grand Tour debut, perhaps the most successful he could hope for as the Dutch team rode for victory. Primoz Roglic was in pink when the race reached the finished and Gloag climbed onto the podium on Roma.
