Further development also in old age - Roglic takes start-up for tour

The Telemark on the winning podium in Santiago de Compostela slipped something like Primoz Roglic. But that did not matter anymore. The times when he jumped over bakken are long ago. The former ski jumper has arrived in the small club of cycling professionals, which make up the big tours. In Spain at the Vuelta, he now won for the third time - a record he shares with only three other professionals, including the Swiss Tony Rominger. I do not pay attention to statistics, but I am honored that I now take this place now, he said. It is a place in cycling history.

Attack on Pogacar: Coronation at the tour is still missing

Three Vuelta victories in series, three place in the Giro 2019 and unfortunate second at the Tour de France last year - Roglic has long since become a complete round driver. What is missing is still the coronation at the tour. For this he would have to beat his young Landsmann Tadej Pogacar. His improvement potential is huge and one day he is able to win the tour, says his sports director Merijn Zeeman. Even if ROGLIC is already 31 years, the Dutch will set up another bill. Accordingly, Roglic has been in the WorldTour for five years and just discover the subtleties of sport.

Further development recognizable: Roglic was also the strongest in the third week

And actually a considerable development is recognizable to the Olympic champion. Roglic showed no nerves this time, seemed confident in all situations and was still the strongest in the third week, which used to be a blemish. So four daily wins, two in the time trials and two in the mountains. These victories sometimes lived in an overwhelming moment. The success on the mountain lakes of Covadonga took Roglic after an impressive 60-kilometer escape, long time together with the former tour winner Egan Bernal, to just stand it. In the time trial on Sunday in Santiago de Compostela, Roglic took on the last few meters for two minutes ago, started overall expansion Enric Mas.

It's unbelievable, it's crazy, Roglic decided in the finish. Instead of being crazy, his overall success was above all a product of logic and mathematics. He added four second day ranks to his four stage victories. This underlines the dominance. Roglic was superior in all matters. He even decided when he would give the red jersey to outliers. He drove his strongest Vuelta this year, said his sporting director Addy Angel of the German Press Agency. For former tours, the Slovene often started overwhelming. But he did not stop the form curve above. This year that was different. If you look at the last days: he does not show any signs of weakness, he's just super strong, Angels said.

His improvement potential is huge and one day he is able to win the tour.

Merijn Zeeman (Sport Director Jumbo-Visa) About Primoz Roglic

This opens up new perspectives in the fight against Pogacar around the yellow jersey in France. Roglic promised to come to the Vuelta, for the attempt to get the historically unique fourth overall victory. But before, he should face the Tour de France's eye.

Roglic wants to attack the Lombardy tour this year. A World Cup start is open, also because of the uncertainties around the new sporting line in the national team. But the small country has a lot of potential winners. This also proved the performance of Tour de France-stage winner Matej Mohoric at the Benelux tour.
