‘Obviously I didn’t have the legs’ – expected attacks by Primož Roglič fail to materialise Sunday at Vuelta a España

Primoz Roglič’s (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) rollercoaster Vuelta a España showed no sign of letting up on Sunday as the Slovenian star failed to produce the widely expected attacks on the toughest mountain stage of the race to date.

Just 24 hours earlier Roglič had turned in a blizzard of uphill attacks on stage 8 to Cazorla to claim his second summit finish win and pull back nearly a full minute on race leader Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale).
