Roglic obviously gifted Remco the final stage. All Roglic did in that final sprint was stay on Remco's wheel, and to be honest he matched his sprint with ease without even sprinting himself. Congrats to Primoz!!
Would have been more interesting if there had been a time trial stage. Fantastic race though and well done Primoz! Fantastic to see him racing injury free for a change!!.
Props to Remco. He makes the races way more exciting. Remco, Tadej, WVA, MVDP, maybe Piddock and a more solid Ganna...Hope to see a race with these guys before they retire.
Great competition between the 2. Experience vs Learning between PR and RE respectively. I cannot understand why people get irritated by RE, he was on the receiving end afterall, but making the race of the GC interesting against a calm and collected PR. It was indeed enjoyable and nice for both to get the spoils at the end.
Some people don't understand what Evenepoel is doing, why he is trying to get Roglic to pull even though he shouldn't, and they both know it. 1. Checking on Roglic, seeing if he responds, what he says, and how he says it. This can help him gauge Roglic's form for the day. If he is suffering he might respond in a way that is somehow different. 2. Pretending that it is about the stage, trying to make Roglic desire the stage win as well as the total. 3. Shame Roglic into pulling for no reason. (Not gonna work, but you might as well try) There are many more ways to use communication for mind games and gathering information. Evenepoel does look a bit angry, and some people dislike this to an extreme, but for me it's just passion, and making yourself heard in the 50kph wind. The annoyance is more directed at the situation he is in, not being able to break his opponent, than anger towards his opponent. Cheers!
@@japphan two (apparetly contrasting consideration). 1) Roglic not pulling is why he will never be loved as much as other champions, and also a bit of insecurity on his side, but it was the smart thing to do because 2) Pulling with Remco more than few km from the finish on a mixed terrain is extremely risky. The more you stay out and share work with him the more he can leave you behind and will kill you on the plain road more than on the climbs. For Roglic it would have been easier to work togheter on a mountain finish.
@@felroberto not strange considering he was also a high performance athlete and ski jumping shares many of muscle sets as cycling. That's why he is so strong and at the same time lacks bike handling.
A brutal stage. Gotta give it to Remco, he fought well til the end. Props to Roglic and TJV for an excellent strategy and run on this tour. Great job from Almeida of UAD securing a podium place. Guess the battle continues on La Vuelta Espana
@theeverlastingspiral9617it is not really a gift. Think about it as "you fought really well, but since it is just you and me and i will win overall, i pay you my respect with this stage win"
@@MarkTomeh he drop just because remco start sprint early+ we can say that he get dropped on stage 3 that not dominance in my opinion. The dominance is like what pogacar did in Paris nice even when he have the jersey he show that he is stronger than the rest. Roglic didn’t show that .
@@mahrezlarouci I know why he dropped Remco at the end of stage 5, but it was still impressive he took advantage of Remco sprinting too early. Roglic had dominance over everyone physically except for Remco. Roglic had mental dominance over him. They're pretty even physically. But smarts and experience matter just as much.
it would of been interesting to see how Remco and Primoz would have faired if there was a TT stage... they are both so close right now and honestly i dont know who would have done better because they have both been excellent while riding against the clock over their careers..
Well, Roglic wouldn't be able to draft behind Evenepoel in a TT. Evenepoel had to hold back when attacking while Roglic just had to hang on, especially since Roglic wouldn't take turns. Evenepoel had to expend far more energy than Roglic because of that. Tactically Roglic played it very well, even though it's not a nice way to win imo. The strongest rider was likely Evenepoel.
@@bertmortier7678 i think primoz was the stronger rider and i also think evenepoel knew that, otherwise he wouldnt have been annoyed that primoz didnt take turns, cuz evenepoel knew he had to get primoz to ride in front so he could attack from his back to stand a chance of beating him. if evenepoel was stronger he would have won this race.
@@joowsty Eh, no. Do you know what drafting is? As long as Roglic stayed in Evenepoel's wheel he expended a lot less energy than him, which was why Evenepoel was so annoyed. Roglic didn't have to be stronger, he could just let Evenepoel push about 30% more watts than he had to and wait it out til the finish line.

Primoz felt guilty for not working yesterday. That race start hand shake was a form of mending fences. He even worked despite the fact that it was the same situation as yesterday. The stronger rider was Remco. Primoz is just more experienced. Tadej would've done some work, just saying. But it doesn't matter anymore The old man won against the rising star young blood. That's all we'll remember in a few years
@@tobiaschurch8848 And why should Roglic work in a way that could only increase Evenepoel's chance to win against him? And somehow Evenepoel feels entitled to be angry if Roglic doesn't do that? My mind is going to explode at some point.
@@PinkAsAPistol Because working with Remco also increases Roglič's chance to get a stage win. Again, if he was confident he would have ridden with Remco, but he played it safe. Which is very understandable, but also kinda lame.
@@Tibovl Regardless of confidence, Roglic had to ride with Evenepoel since there was nobody else to claw him back. Then, it's not like he felt 100% sure that he was consistently stronger, every single day, so he could not afford to work for the pair to go faster and try to get another couple stage wins. It would be great for Evenepoel if they both worked, only for him to sense that Roglic became tired at some point, so he would get a chance to drop him and gain just 10 seconds. We all like to see somebody put on a show every day without necessarily thinking of the bigger picture, but what Roglic did was hardly unexpected. I'm pretty sure Evenepoel would have done exactly the same and he's the last guy who should complain that his opponent didn't do what would predominantly serve his own interests.
Remco a little gutted he didn’t make a little more effort on a couple of the earlier stages, to gain time on Rog or not lose time to him? Focus on his own tactics than those of Rog? Young, will learn from this, and be tactically sharper next time round. Rog looking on very, very good form for the Giro 👍
Terbaik la Primo. Nanti masa LTDF nampak gaya team jumbo visma akan dibarisi cyclist yang hebat2 , Primo, Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert , Laporte dan lain lain lagi. Team UAD pun kali ni GC dapat no 3 dan 4 tanpa Poggy , kira hebat ni
Thank you for the entertaining race! I can’t wait to see Roglic and Evenepoel clash in the Giro! Those leaders jerseys are barely recognizable from each other or team jerseys for that matter. WTH? 🤷♂️
People forget you peak at 25-30 as an endurance athlete. In terms of capabilities. Remco has 2-3 years at least of improvement ahead. Still, Roglic just played it out the right way. Its sports.
I wouldn't say Roglic 'gifted' Remco the stage but rather he decided not to steal it from him. 😀 Roglic could have won it but that would have pissed Remco off. I think Roglic is smart enough to know he doesn't need to give Remco more reasons to want to make his life difficult @ the Giro. lmao
take the bike racing with a pinch of salt as it may never again legitimately reflect genuine human performance /effort, but the commentary kirby stylee will always old up to scrutiny ...😇😉👍👍

He absolutely did. He actually matched Remco's sprint without too much effort and without really sprinting himself.
Yep. He knew winning overall is much better and tieing Remco in win stages is plenty.
He didn’t.
Remco is better than him in a flat sprint

Congratulations to Primoz. Very happy for Soler, I like his style.
You like terrible team mates?
Fantastic week of racing
Someone needs to interview Soler to see what was his thinking throughout this race.
Soler is so bad that it hurts
Have had this question for him for the last 3 years
Nobody needs a sports psychologist more than Soler. So much talent, so little racing sense.
That would assume that he was thinking in the first place. Same old Soler....different team
His thinking was probably “I’m on better form than Almeida, perhaps I should ignore the radio and have a crack at it”
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
is Primoz Roglic the GOAT of one-week races?
THE SOLERISM!
Absolutely hilarious
Rog é demais...❤❤❤❤
Absolute assertion of dominance by primoz to gift the stage to Remco
You're right. The way he matched Remco's sprint without much effort was impressive. Give the crying kid the victory.
If he was dominant as u say he drop remco but he can’t
@@mahrezlarouci lol he didn't need to. He had the win. He did drop him on stage 5 at the end of the mountain top finish.
