Cycling: Primoz Roglic has won the fifth stage of the Tour of Catalonia, putting his challenger Remco Evenepoel in his place. Before that, the Belgian let his team work almost the entire day.
Roglic demonstrates his strength
For a long time it looked like it could Remco Evenepoel (Soudal – Quick-Step) take the overall lead today with a stage win. The Belgian seemed stronger throughout the final climb, but again seemed to be miscalculating his strength. In the last 100 meters he tried again, but Primois Roglic (Jumbo – Visma) sprinted away impressively. The Slovenian thus defends his lead in the overall standings – and extends his lead. Could keep up for a long time too Joao almeida (UAE). Ultimately, however, the Portuguese was unable to intervene in the fight for the day's victory. On the fifth stage over 176,6 kilometers from Tortosa to Lo Port, the breakaways didn't stand a chance again. At the foot of the final climb, the lead was only about a minute.
Roglic demuestra que para ganarle hay que matarle más de una vez y que su 'punch' sigue intacto rompiendo a Evenepoel en los últimos 50 metros.
