Speaking seconds after the finish, the stage winner and new Maglia Rosa Primož Roglič said: “It feels amazing. It’s incredible. My chain dropped but I put it back. I could have lost everything but it’s part of racing. The crowd gave me some extra watts and I was enjoying the atmosphere and the energy around the event. One day to go. The course is a bit technical. It’s not over until it’s over but it looks good.”
