UNCOVERED: Here s why we think primoz roglic used a gravel groupset on giro d italia s queen stage | History Defined

Primoz Roglic's bike

Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) made what looked like a risky but planned bike change in Cortina d'Anoezzo, only 20 kilometers from the end of stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia.

The Queen stage, which featured five categorised climbs, finished up the infamous Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The spare Cervelo R5 Roglič switched to was equipped with a single chainring up front, and SRAM's super wide range 10-44 cassette. A setup more commonly seen on gravel bikes rather than WorldTour superbikes.
