Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič Destroy Solaison Climbing Record
Jumbo-Visma climbing performances in Criterium du Dauphiné were strong. On the hardest climb of the race, Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič set a blistering time up Plateau de Solaison, beating the previous record for the climb set by Jakob Fuglsang in the 2017 Dauphiné by almost two minutes.

Evenepoel Buries Roglič GC Hopes | Itzulia Basque Country Stage 5

Evenepoel in the end lost in the uphill finish to Dani Martinez, but the Belgian became the new race leader after Vlasov was crashed by Jonas Vingegaard. The stage was won from the breakaway by 21-year-old Carlos Rodriguez who drafted for many kilometres behind Marc Soler and dropped the UAE-Emirates rider on the last categorized climb, taking his first pro victory.
