Giro d'Italia, Primoz Roglic half satisfied

Here are the words of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe’s Slovenian Primoz Roglic, who regained the pink jersey at the end of the seventh stage of the Giro d’Italia, the Castel di Sangro-Tagliacozzo stage won by UAE Team Emirates’ Spaniard Juan Ayuso.

“I would have preferred to win but it’s still nice to be in pink again. I won’t have a lot of Tours ahead of me, so you have to take advantage of every opportunity. I know Ayuso’s characteristics well, and I knew he would give me a hard time on a finish like this. I’m not worried about the outcome of the stage.”

“It was a shame to lose Jai Hindley yesterday. Unfortunately, however, cycling is also this and there is no turning back. However, I am grateful to my team, they are doing a great job and I want to win the Giro also so I can pay them back,” Roglic added.
