After finishing fourth in the sprint finish to end stage 4 at Itzulia Basque Country, race leader Primož Roglič said that he was "missing a bit of legs and a bit of luck."

The Jumbo-Visma rider has led the race since blitzing the opening 7.5km time trial in Hondarribia on Monday, putting five seconds into Remco Evenepoel (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) and 18-plus into the remainder of his GC rivals. Since that first stage, however, Roglič hasn't quite exhibited his devastating best.
