Two-time runner-up and fellow Colombian Nairo Quintana also quickly lost contact with the leading group led by Roglic’s Jumbo-Visma teammates, who set a frantic tempo from the bottom of the climb. “Today was a tough day, Jumbo-Visma controlled the race and set a super-high tempo. A lot of riders were dropped and I wanted to focus on the finale,” said the 21-year-old Pogacar.Roglic leads Pogacar by 40 sec and Colombian Rigoberto Uran by 1:34 as the race is turning into an all-Slovenian affair after Bernal’s disappearance.
Bernal had been looking under par in the first part of the race and Sunday’s stage confirmed that impression as the 23-year-old zigzagged up the road, sweat dripping from his face, while Jumbo-Visma’s Wout van Aert pulled the shrinking peloton.
