Primoz Roglic: “It’s crazy but very nice”

 

It’s crazy but it’s a very nice feeling. I had great legs today. I really tried a lot of times. It was perfect. Going downhill, I opened a little gap and I knew it would be hard for anyone to close it, so I pushed harder and harder. When I heard I had ten seconds lead or something, just 5km before the finish, I gave it all till the end. I haven’t thought of the podium. I was fighting for the stage win and it worked out very well. The time trial is tailor-made for me but it’s the same for everyone. Tomorrow it’ll be a new day and a new focus. I’m not bothered about Tom Dumoulin or Chris Froome. I’m bothered about myself.
