About 20 minutes after Slovenians Tadej Pogau010dar and Primou017e Rogliu010d finished in first and second place in the Tour de France’s 15th stage on Sunday, Slovenian president Borut Pahor tweeted an image of two autographed Rogliu010d jerseys captioned with a prevailing sentiment.
The Tour de France is becoming the Tour de Slovenia.
As the world’s greatest bike race enters its final weekend, Rogliu010d and Pogau010dar remain first and second in the overall standings. They’ve survived the toughest mountain stages.
Rogliu010d, a pre-race co-favorite, will very likely become the first Slovenian to win the Tour.
