FTDF Stage 19 - Primoz in his Prime

Primoz Roglic, eh? He may be young(ish), but the alert among us may have noticed that he hasn't lost a stage race that he started this year. He managed to win Tour of the Basque Country, Tour de Romandie and Tour of Slovenia overall. And in case you hadn't been reminded by the cycling commentators every 10 minutes or so, he used to be a ski-jumper. As the GC contenders had their last throw of the dice today, Roglic did the best, winning the stage and leapfrogging Froome to move up to third. 


Drew's Dudes did nicely today, but with what looks suspiciously like a placeholder team, the Smugblokes did well to finish second. It may be too little, too late for Mark to move off the Lantern Rouge spot however.

Not long to go now. Stage 20 is an Individual Time Trial. You'd expect World Time Trial Champion, Tom Dumoulin to do well, but double Olympic Gold Medalist Geraint Thomas is no slouch against the clock, and is in the form of his life...... he should be safe with a lead of over 2 minutes, as long as he doesn't fall off.
