(Adds quotes and details) May 15 (Reuters) – Slovenian Primoz Roglic won the Chianti Classic individual time trial that formed the ninth stage of the Giro d’Italia on Sunday, while Italian Gianluca Brambilla held on to the leader’s pink jersey. Brambilla, who like other late starters, had to ride through heavy rain showers, just managed to hold on to the lead he took on Saturday with a one-second gap on Etixx-Quick Step team mate Bob Jungels of Luxembourg after setting the 17th best time. It was a strange race, very strange.” Second and third in the stage went to IAM team mates Matthias Braendle of Austria, the former world one-hour record holder, and Vegard Laengen of Norway.
