Primoz Roglic 1st Slovenian cyclist to win Giro d'Italia, his 3rd victory of 2023

Primoz Roglic expanded his Grand Tour portfolio by winning the Giro d'Italia on Sunday in Rome to add to his three Spanish Vuelta titles.

He became the first Slovenian rider to win the Giro and he did it in dramatic fashion, claiming the lead in the penultimate stage and taking the pink jersey from Geraint Thomas in Saturday's mountain time trial.

It was the direct opposite of what happened in the 2020 Tour de France, when fellow Slovenian Tadej Pogacar took the lead from Roglic in another penultimate-day mountain time trial.

During the podium celebration, Roglic's son, Lev, joined him on the stage and seemed more excited than his dad.

"I'm trying to enjoy all the emotions, and everything that happened yesterday," Roglic said. "At the end, it's always nice to win, in this spectacular city … all these amazing buildings, it's super beautiful."

Riding a pink bike and wearing a pink helmet and pink socks, Roglic took it easy during the mostly ceremonious final stage, a 135-kilometre leg through the cobblestoned streets of Rome that concluded next to the Roman Forum.

Mark Cavendish, who recently announced he will retire at the end of this season, won the 21st and final stage in a sprint finish.
