Hotly-tipped Tour de France contender Primoz Roglic won Tuesday’s stage four on the race’s first summit finish but failed to drop any of his key rivals in the process, including overall leader Julian Alaphilippe.

On a perfect day for racing the Vuelta a Espana champion edged home his Slovenian compatriot Tadej Pogacar in second, while Guillaume Martin was third after 160.5km rolling run to the 1850m altitude finish line.
