Slovenian Primoz Roglic secured his first Grand Tour since Dutch sprinter Fabio Jakobsen won the Last stage of the Vuelta a Espana in Madrid.
Jakobsen, 23, took his second stage win of this race, narrowly beating Sam Bennett in a chaotic sprint.
Even the Irishman found himself boxed in and although he closed was unable to grow his two stage wins.
Jumbo Visma’s Roglic, 29, completed two minutes 16 minutes before Spain’s Alejandro Valverde overall.
Roglic became the Slovenian to acquire the overall classification in one of cycling’s three Grand Tours – the Tour of France, the Vuelta and the Giro d’Italia.
He moved after winning the time trial.
He was favourite and set a minute and a half to all his main rivals.
He gave him a lead of almost two minutes in the GC over Valverde and with assistance from his Jumbo Visma group he was able to keep the jersey on the next half of the Vuelta all the way to Madrid.
On a notable day for Slovenia, 20-year-old Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates combined Roglic to the podium in third place, in addition to winning the young rider category.
Spanish riders Jesus Ezquerra proposed to his girlfriend midway and made a ring. She said yes.
