Vuelta a Espana champion, Primoz Roglic
Veteran Slovenian Primoz Roglic fought his way into the lead at the Tour of Catalonia on Thursday as he claimed stage four of the race by beating Juan Ayuso in a sprint finish.
UAE Team Emirates’ Ayuso had edged Roglic on Wednesday to take the leader’s jersey but four time Vuelta a Espana winner Roglic, 35, came out on top at the summit finish in Montserrat in a show of strength to earn his first victory of the season.
Both riders, favourites in the absence of reigning champion Tadej Pogacar, are tied for time at the top of the general classification, with Enric Mas third, 20 seconds behind.
