VIDEO: Evenepoel and Roglic battle it out for time bonuses at the intermediate sprint on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia
CyclingMonday, 08 May 2023 at 17:43
With the breakaway caught and the peloton being the front of the race as the intermediate sprint neared, the time bonuses on offer meant the GC riders came out to play.
Primoz Roglic was trying his best to put some pressure on the overall race leader Remco Evenepoel who as yet has looked peerless in his quest for the Maglia Rosa. Led out by his teammate Koen Bouwman, Roglic opted to use the intermediate sprint as the perfect opportunity to gain a few seconds back on the Belgian in pink.
Sadly for Jumbo-Visma's plans, Evenepoel decided he wasn't going to let the Slovenian take even a second out of the advantage he has built up. The Soudal - Quick-Step man came over the shoulder of Roglic to take the maximum of three bonus seconds and actually increase his overall lead.
Check it out in the video below.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
