(Reuters) -Primoz Roglic was poised to win his first Giro d'Italia title after snatching the leader's maglia rosa from Geraint Thomas with an emphatic victory in the 18.6-kilometre individual time trial in the penultimate 20th stage on Saturday.
Jumbo-Visma's Roglic overcame a mechanical issue to win the brutal mountain time trial by 40 seconds as Ineos Grenadiers rider Thomas' title challenge evaporated on the steep slopes of Monte Lussari in the penultimate 20th stage of the race.
