168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Primož Roglič’s injuries have yet to be assessed in full, but Jumbo-Visma directeur sportif Addy Engels believes their impact outweighs the eight seconds gained on Remco Evenepoel in the🐷 dramatic denouement to stage 16 of the V🅘uelta a España.

Roglič attacked forcefully at 2.6km from the finish in Tomares, taking advantage of the gentle climb towards the finish to pull a five-rider group clear. The quintet, led by stage winner Mads Pedersen, came home eight seconds ahead of the peloton, but Roglič crashed heavily inside the final 100 metres.
