La hipótesis de Roglic a Movistar que sostiene Carlos de Andrés debería ir acompañada de vagos fichajes para apuntalar el bloque alrededor #Lavuelta23
Cycling Rumors: Is Primoz Roglic a possibility for Movistar Team?

Cycling Market: Televisión Española's cycling narrator since 2000, Carlos de Andrés, commented yesterday during the 18th stage of the Vuelta a España that Primoz Roglic could be a possibility for Movistar Team for 2024.
The truth is that the Slovenian rider has 2 years left on his contract with Jumbo-Visma and his departure is highly unlikely. What is no less certain is that the emergence of Jonas Vingegaard as the absolute leader in the Tour de France has led to rumors of a possible departure of Roglic at the end of the campaign.
It hasn't helped to stop those rumors either that in the year that Primoz could become the man with the most Vueltas a España wins in history by equaling Roberto Heras' record of 4, the Dane decided to ride the Spanish race and the team finally decided to work for Sepp Kuss to take the win.
On the other hand we have a Movistar Team completely lost after the retirement of Alejandro Valverde. Their man with the most UCI points this year, Matteo Jorgenson, is leaving for Jumbo-Visma. Carlos Verona is also leaving. They tried to sign Carlos Rodriguez, but failed, and the more or less closed signings are to complement the squad (Rémi Cavagna, Davide Formolo, Pelayo Sanchez).
So, this is speculation, but Movistar needs a Primoz Roglic as Enric Mas is not making the grade and Roglic needs another team if he still wants to fight for a shot at winning the Tour de France. If Saudi Arabia finally joins the team and invests, we imagine that they would go for a star... Time to time, we know that in cycling is difficult to break contracts, although Movistar has negative experience after having almost closed to Rodriguez and see how he finally stayed in INEOS. We'll see...

- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
