Roglic: "I had no option but to finish it off"

Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe): "The stage win was not actually the main objective today but when I see the guys riding so hard in this heat, I’m happy to finish it off. I didn’t ask them to do that and nobody asked me either! If they’d asked me, I probably would have told them not to go so hard and to control for the victory. I had no option. It was tough, steep, and I felt my back a bit after some hours. Hopefully it doesn’t go worse. The idea is the same, to keep going day by day. I always say it: you never know when it will be your last victory so I just enjoy it. It’s life, there are challenges and I’m just really happy, especially with the way the team was working."
