Roglic loses time as Verona wins Giro stage 15
Spaniard Carlos Verona won stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia with a long-range solo attack on Sunday as former champion Primoz Roglic lost significant time on the rest of his general classification rivals. Slovenian Roglic, one of the pre-race favourites, shipped a minute and a half to the rest of the contenders for the leader's pink jersey after being dropped on the final climb with over 20km to go. The 35-year-old Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe rider tumbled from fifth to 10th in the overall standings and is now three minutes 53 seconds behind race leader Isaac del Toro. Lidl-Trek rider Verona, 32, held off a chasing pack formed by some of his breakaway companions to secure his first Grand Tour stage win, and only his second pro victory. "I certainly didn't come to the Giro thinking that I could win a stage and I was happy with that," said Verona, who finished 22 seconds ahead of Florian Stork with Christian Scaroni in third. "I was here in full support for [points leader] Mads Pedersen and Giulio Ciccone [who did not start on Sunday after crashing on stage 14]. "Everything changed yesterday when we lost Cicco. Today is my day. I didn't want to do it for me but I wanted to do it for the team, knowing how much Giulio had worked for this race." Britain's Simon Yates of Team Visma-Lease a Bike remains second in the overall standings behind Mexican Del Toro, with the UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider taking a lead of one minute and 20 seconds into the final week. Meanwhile, Swiss Marlen Reusser won the final time trial stage at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas to wrap up overall victory in the Women's World Tour event. It secured back-to-back stage wins for the Movistar rider, who won the general classification by almost two minutes. Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini finished second in the general classification with Dutch rider Yara Kastelijn third.

Verona races to solo Giro stage win as favourite Roglic loses time on leader Del Toro
Carlos Verona raced to a solo victory on stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia as Primoz Roglic lost more time on the pink jersey held by Isaac del Toro. A day after Lidl-Trek lost their team leader, Giulio Ciccone, following a heavy crash, Verona delivered an outstanding response as he claimed his first career Grand Tour stage win – and only his second professional victory – at the age of 32. The Spaniard attacked out of a seven-strong breakaway at the foot of the Dori climb around 45km from the finish of the 219km stage from Fiume Veneto, building a slim advantage by the summit and holding off his challenges over a rolling finale. But behind it was another bad day for pre-race favourite Roglic who was unable to follow the moves of his general classification rivals. Egan Bernal had made the first significant move with an attack on the mighty Monte Grappa midway through the stage, and it was notable that Roglic had no response as Del Toro and others covered the attack. The main leaders came back together on the descent but it had been a preview of what was to come as further attacks followed on the Dori, as Roglic was again distanced, losing 90 seconds by the end of the stage. Del Toro remains one minute 20 seconds ahead of Simon Yates, with the Mexican's UAE Team Emirates teammate Juan Ayuso a further six seconds back in third. But Roglic fell five places to 10th, his deficit to pink just shy of four minutes going into Monday's rest day and the final week of racing.
