See Chris Froome chasing a fugitive – and defending last place on the podium – is certainly not a normal picture. But nothing strange that accompanied this Tour and in particular the career of Primoz Roglic, the Slovenian who was a phenomenon. Roglic attacked to climb, attacked to descend … The victory at the stage was a fair price for the claw and the show that he gave today, in the farewell of mountains.
Roglic even stole the third place at Froome, which had to delight those who whistled him when he passed out of the group of favorites on the climb to Aubisque. And it's the perfect excuse to point this chronicle to the work of the cycling team, which many find difficult to see as a collective modality. Egan Bernal's effort and selflessness in favor of Froome, especially when he lost touch with the Yellow Group, was an excellent example of the collective spirit that presides over this sport of intense individual effort
As was the case of Kruijswijk to teammate Roglic by the time he jumped out of the group and got a breakthrough, then allowed third place now to go some time (precious) on his wheel.
Bernal, 21, Movistar Marc Soler, 24, and Roglic, 28 – Thomas, 31, will only lose this Tour very badly, but these names allow us to glimpse the following. And in the not too distant future, because tomorrow's counter-clock is long (31 km) and lasts (900 m at 10% tilt to 3 km from the goal). And whoever arrives at this stage of a three-week race with the soul and strength in the legs of Roglic, a cons-cyclist consumed, now that he is in third place and only 19 seconds of Dumoulin will certainly go one step further.
