By winning the stage in the Vuelta a Burgos, the Slovenian cyclist achieved yet another remarkable feat. Roglic now not only leads the general classification but also has the privilege of donning the coveted leader’s jersey in a professional competition for an impressive 125th time throughout his career.
This incredible streak began in 2015 during the Tour of Azerbaijan when he was still competing for the Adria Mobil team. Of the numerous occasions Roglic has worn the leader’s jersey, he emerged victorious in 19 of them.
The website Statsoncycling found another statistic, revealing that Roglic is a king at collecting leader’s jerseys; since 2014, Chris Froome is the closest to Roglic with 83 leader’s jerseys worn. They are followed by Tadej Pogacar (64) and Remco Evenepoel (61).
