Primož Roglič has been caught in a whirlwind of emotions during the 2023 Giro d’Italia, especially since winning the Monte Lussari mountain time trial on Saturday and snatching victory from Geraint Thomas.

Yet on Sunday evening, as the sun set over Rome, Roglič appeared to have found some inner peace. The pressures and pain of daily racing are over; replaced by emotions, memories, thoughts, pride and sheer happiness.
