Primoz Roglic (LottoNl-Jumbo) won the prologue time trial at the Ster ZLM Toer on Wednesday, covering the 7.5km course in 8:04, just beating runner-up Marcel Kittel and coming in three seconds faster than third-placed Maximilian Schachmann, both of Quick-Step Floors.
"This is my final step in preparing for the Tour de France," Roglic said. "I just got back from altitude in the Sierra Nevada. Then it's always awaiting how my body reacts to it. This time trial was an important test and I'm glad it went well. "
The win is Roglic's third time trial victory of the season with the Slovenian dreaming of taking yellow on his Tour debut next month in Düsseldorf, Germany..
"It is going to be my first Tour de France and I will do the best I can. I will take my opportunities in the stages that suit me. In the Tour, there are two time trials, one in the end in Marseille and of course, the prologue in Düsseldorf. Dreaming of the yellow jersey is allowed and we are on the right way. We have had a good preparation. It will be a nice Tour de France for our team," said Roglic, who did not defend his national time trial title last weekend due to his training camp.
Roglic now leads Kittel, who is tied on time, in the general classification, with Schachmann in third. Thursday's stage takes riders over 186.8km between Tholen and Hoogerheide.
