"What else could you want?" - Primoz Roglic sees his team seize full control in Spain
Cycling
Primoz Roglic, together with his teammates Sepp Kuss and Jonas Vingegaard, played the tactical game well in the thirteenth stage of the Vuelta a España. The Slovenian himself finished third and rose to second place in the rankings, behind Kuss and ahead of Vingegaard, who won the stage solo after an attack on the Col du Tourmalet.
Vingegaard rode away from the group of favorites on the slopes of the mythical climb, while Roglic and Kuss were then able to sit quietly in the wheels of their competitors. "We were at the meeting today and came first, second and third. What else could you want? We were able to take advantage of all the competitors and have now won," he told Slovenian Val 202.
"That was possible because we always had a numerical superiority," he continued. "It turned out great today." Roglic is now 1:37 behind Kuss and seven seconds ahead of Vingegaard, who is third. Tomorrow another tough mountain stage is on the program at the Vuelta.

- 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.
