Former Spanish champion Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers) gained a dramatic remaining stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné on Sunday, as Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) clung on to assert the general victory by eight seconds.
The 23-year-old rode clear with Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) within the remaining 5 kilometres, grinding hiis manner over the road forward of the American, with Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) just a few seconds again in third.
Their transfer put the yellow jersey of Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) in extreme hazard, however the Slovenian defended nicely, holding on by the pores and skin of his tooth to take total victory by simply eight seconds from Jorgeson. Gee was third total, 36 seconds behind the chief.
It’s the Slovenian’s second Dauphiné title after he gained two years in the past, however this 12 months’s success comes solely 9 weeks after he was injured in a horror crash at Itzulia Basque Nation in April. The end result places him in an excellent place forward of the Tour de France, although his efficiency on the ultimate climb will concern each him and his workforce.
