Primož Roglič continued a unique record with his victory in the Itzulia Basque Country opening time trial on Monday, with the Slovenian having never lost a time trial he's raced in Spain.

Roglič, who beat Remco Evenepoel by five seconds in Hondarribia to open Itzulia with a race leader's jersey, has now raced eight individual time trials in the country stretching back to 2017, and has triumphed in every single one.
