'We Didn't Want the Leader's Jersey' - Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe Say Loss of Primoz Roglič's Giro d'Italia Lead Was Intentional

Primož Roglič is now third in the overall standings, 17 seconds behind Ulissi.

Slovenian cycling ace Primož Roglič is having the toughest day of this year's Giro d'Italia. In the ninth stage, which also took the cyclists through the gravel sections of the classic Strade Bianche, he fell and had a flat tire, and his rivals took advantage of Zasavac's difficulties to win the overall victory and shave off valuable minutes from him, which will make it much more difficult for him to continue the race.
