Roglic loses out on pink jersey by one hundredth of second

Primoz Roglic was so close to the Giro d’Italia’s maglia rosa he could almost reach out and touch it. The LottoNL-Jumbo rider ended his opening time trial in disappointment after placing second to Tom Dumoulin by one hundredth of second.

Both Dumoulin and Roglic covered the 9.8km time trial in 11:03 with the Dutchman taking first place and the overall leader’s jersey. A further six seconds back, Andrey Amador (Movistar) rounded out the podium in third place.
