Roglic Rockets Up Slopes In Vuelta a España

'Happy' Primoz Roglic Rockets Up 24% Slopes In Vuelta a España 2024 Stage 15 Battle

Sep 1, 2024

Primoz Roglic expressed satisfaction after gaining time on Vuelta a España 2024 race leader Ben O'Connor during the grueling 24% climb to the summit of Stage 15 at Cuitu Negru.


Roglic managed to pull ahead by 38 seconds, but his gain later was reduced to just 18 seconds due to a 20-second penalty for an illegal slipstream after a bike change. Despite the setback, Roglic remains optimistic, now trailing O'Connor by 1:03 minutes.


In this video, we break down the drama of Stage 15 and the impact of the penalty on Roglic's Vuelta ambitions.
