MADRID: Defending Vuelta a Espana champion Slovenia’s Primoz Roglic claimed victory in a tough time-trial on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) to regain the lead in the overall classification with five stages remaining. Carapaz is 39 seconds behind Roglic and EF Pro’s Carthy is 47 seconds back. “Better to be 39 in front than 39 behind,” said Roglic. Roglic led the Tour de France this season only to let the lead slip from his grasp on th penultimate day during a long and tricky time-trial as he was overtaken by Tadej Pogacar. “We all know it’s not really a fun thing to do a time-trial but today I had the legs and I could do a nice time trial.”
