Giro d’Italia | Primoz Roglic was helped by a former ski jumping buddy in the climbing time trial on Monte Lussari

His current teammate was clearly shocked when the chain suddenly flew off Roglic’s bike in the final kilometers of the deciding time trial at Monte Losari. However, the Slovenian quickly got things back together and as Jumbo’s mechanic had to put the spare bike aside, a pro suddenly appeared who took over his turn.

It seems the man who brought Roglic back is no stranger to Chief Jumbo. Mitja Mežnar was a teammate of his on the Slovenian ski jumping team in the distant past.

Tarvisio

Yesterday’s time trial started in Tarvisio and allowed Roglic to claim his last ski jumping victory there. As a junior, he won gold in that Italian place at the World Championships in that age group.

Despite the bad luck, Roglic was able to make up for his shortcomings with the rating leader Geraint Thomas. The Jumbo rider will start today’s final stage to Rome with a 14-second lead over the Welshman.
