Primoz Roglic uses gravel groupset in Giro d'Italia queen stage

A close-up of Primoz Roglic's bike, showing the groupset as a 1x XPLR groupset

The Queen stage of this year's Giro d'Italia is a hilly one, with a full five categorised mountain climbs and plenty more stabby uncategorised ones besides. In advance of the final time trial, a stage of two halves with a flat opening followed by an ascent of Monte Lussari, Primož Roglič's spare bike was spotted atop the team car sporting a single front chainring and a truly enormous cassette.

While we were speculating as to the setup, and why the bike was on the car today in advance of TT, Roglič proceeded to stop in advance of today's final climb and swap bikes, before being paced back to the bunch by the ever-dutiful Sepp Kuss.
