Primoz Roglic beats Egan Bernal to Tour de l’Ain title with second stage win as Tour de France looms

Primoz Roglic won his second stage in as many days to wrap up the Tour de l’Ain title and set his stall out ahead of the Tour de France.

In the first stage race of the summer season for the climbers, a heavyweight field of GC contenders showed their form in the Jura mountains. And it was Rogli who showed the best early-August form, beating Bernal in a steep finish, as he had in Saturday’s stage, to cross the line as stage winner and take the overall title.

The Tour de l’Ain has rarely had such a stellar start list, and in high temperatures the best climbers in world cycling put on a real show.
