Competing for Jumbo-Visma, he claimed his second Tour de Romandie title only a week ago, and is viewed as one of the favourites for the three-week Giro d'Italia title.

This was Roglič's second stage win at the legendary race across Italy, which kicked off in Bologna. His first stage win at Giro d'Italia came in 2016.
