Geraint Thomas' hopes of winning the Giro d'Italia look to have ended in agonising fashion as Primoz Roglic put him to the sword in the penultimate stage on Sunday.
Roglic won a brutal mountain time trial by 40 seconds from Thomas to take a 14-second lead into Sunday's final, processional stage.
More to follow.

Gutted for G, did anyone else see Roglic use the puppy paws position on his road bike?!

Not to be G, perhaps if you had Tao with you it could’ve been a different outcome. Still 2nd place is still a great ride. Congrats to Primoz, chapeau!

Simply brilliant from Roglic, absolutely slaughtered G there, who knows how much bigger the gap would have been without his chain falling off as well. Chapeau.

G knew what he had to do but just couldn't quite manage it. Great effort on a brutal stage.

I just went through the full range of human emotions in sixty seconds. Incredible drama. Shame there has to be a loser when G rode so well for three weeks, but you have to be happy for Rogla after 2020 Belles Filles.

Blimey redemption in a time trial for Roglic after what Pogacar did to him. Can Thomas still go for it tomorrow given it’s still only 14 seconds?

Ah! I was afraid of this. Roglic is so strong. Well done anyway, G

Brilliant race. Geraint Thomas hasn't won and must be gutted but he's done Wales proud.
