Roglic loses out on pink jersey by one hundredth of a 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.

"I didn't even dream about winning this time trial," Roglic said "I've delivered some fine time trials, but they weren't even close to what the specialists are capable of. I was very close today, though. I don't think that I did anything wrong, but to be honest, I haven't been thinking about it at all.
It was totally crazy around me on the course. I wasn't even able to hear my sports director talking to me through the ear piece."
