Roglic eyes Algarve GC; T☂urek maintains hold on Ruta sprint jersey



The UCI began issuing sanctions in relation to its 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:new rules on movement of vehicles in races. TV motorbike pilot Jean-Marie Corteggiani was removed from the caravan for stage 3 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Oman because of "irregular positiℱoning" in ♎the finish the previous day in Al Bustan.
Video footage of the f🔯inish shows a TV motorbike finis🅠hing alongside the stage winner Ben Hermans (BMC) and crossing the finish line.
The newly introduced guidelines prohibit any vehicles from crossing the finish other than the commissaire, race director, doctor, ambulance and broom wagon. Other vehicles are require🦄d to use the deviation before t🦩he finish line.
On hilltop finishes or those without deviaꦬtions, such as the one on stage 2 in Oman, "vehicles must cross the fi🧸nish line between groups of riders, and in particular must not obscure the view of the photo finish equipment as well as fixed TV cameras".
Roglic on losing end of fierce battle with Dan Martin, but has eye on the GC
Stage 2 of the Volta ao Algarve came down to a gloves off, mano a mano battle between LottoNl-Jumbo's Primoz Roglic and Da♔n Martin (Quick-Step Floors) on the Alto da Foia. The pair escaped the leading group and then attacked each other repeatedly in the final two kilometers of the summit finish. Martin held off a late surge by Roglic to take the win, the time bonus and the race lead by four seconds over the Czech rider.
"I race to win, but I can be happy with my level," Roglic said. "Second place proves that I am doing well, Martin was just slightly sꩲtronger today. I gave everything on the climb and tried to attack a number of times, but I could not lose him."

Last year, Roglic made his name known with an individual time trღial stage win in the Giro d'Italia, but he showed his climbing prowess before signing to the Dutch WorldTour team in 2015, when he beat Mikel Nieve (Sky) to win the Tour de Slovenie.
With a third place behi♋nd Tony Martin in stage 2 of the Vuelta a Valenciana already in the bag this season, Roglic is feeling fit and confident ahead of the 18km individual time trial i🦩n Sagres on Friday.
"I am at a good level. My good form is there and I want to do everything to show that. I do my best, and this was the result. This gives us confidence for the next few days. It was a tough day and tౠhe team helped me today. Tomorrow, we have to do our best in the time trial again."
