When the chain went off, Roglič was perhaps the onley human on earth who still believed he can win giro...you can see the reaction of the team, all touhgt it was lost...after that tehnical Roglič was amazing...when asked after the stage how hard was that last part, he said he does not know how hard it was, and that all he knows he was flying :)

Amazing Giro. So wonderful to see Roglic take pink after so many bad lucks and disappointments. Love Geraint Thomas and Almeida, too! All well-deserved!

Giro: Hold my beer.

This stage saved the Giro imo. Was super exciting to watch and what and epic display of power by Roglic.

Fun fact, his famous ski jump crash was at Planica just 9km away from here. A bit poetic.

A reversal of fortunes for Roglic, and the Tdf loss, to this ecstatic Giro Win! He kept it close all the way and didn't over do his efforts as prior times. Primoz has his redemption.

There are no words that could explain what Roglič means to Slovenia. He is the definition of a true Slovenian. Quiet, shy, yet determined and stubborn. Never gives up and fights every single day. Perfect winner and a huge achievement for him and for his nation. Incredible comeback story. You can't make this stuff up. Fairytale.

As someone whos a massive geraint fan i was gutted.
But primroz effort was armtrong esque.
I dont mean doped side of things, i mean that refusal to quit, the mental strength to dig deep, staying calm and trusting his numbers and his ability.
Absolute weapon of a man

0:02 "Un aficionado bajó a toda velocidad cuando vio lo que sucedía para ayudar en lo que pudiera al corredor esloveno, y resultó ser nada más y nada menos que Mitja Mežnar, un ex compañero de la selección eslovena de saltos de esquí de Roglic cuando 'Rogla' se dedicaba a ello"

Nice summary by ES, I only wish they added Primož "disbelief" when they told him in the tent, that he has won.
A word about fans:
1. I want to congratulate fans (probably 85% of them were Slovenian), which did respect Thomas and moved to the side when he was ridding and did not do any antics like in some races ; overall Giro spectators are the best of all 3 GCs.
2. I am disappointed in some Slovenian fans who were too close when Primož was ridding (I think someone even touched him). I understand that there is emotion involved (or sadly sometimes even alcohol), but there is no excuse for someone to run next to any rider! In this kind of stages, people can/should yell all they want, but there is no excuse not to move yourself to the edge of the road and cheer from there like a true cycling fan.

Amazing work from Italian organizers to prepared this stage logistic nightmare to a perfection; they also organized free buses from Slovenian side of the border. Overall, people could learn a lot from this years Giro.

Geraint Thomas is my new hero. He has motivated me so much to train to try to defeat my rivals after watching his performance in this Giro, Thank you Geraint Thomas, you have lit a fire in me brighter than that surrounding my life!

Great comeback Giro! At least you made the last 3 races exciting.😄

[wezhira]

True sportsman will make you love the winners and losers. This Giro was like that. I am happy for all but Rogla had my heart.
