Primoz Roglic won the Vuelta a Espana for a record-equalling fourth time on Sunday, the perfect pick-me-up after crashing out of the Tour de France.

The Slovenian wrapped up his fifth-career Grand Tour when he finished second in the closing time trial on the streets of Madrid won by Stefan Kung.

“It’s crazy – already four, I just want to enjoy it” he said before hugging his wife Lora and children.

Australia’s Ben O’Connor finished runner-up overall with Spain’s Enric Mas completing the podium.
