"For Roglič it will be even better at Bora" - Tadej Pogacar anticipates more competition at Tour de France
CyclingThursday, 23 November 2023 at 10:06
Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic are no strangers to each other but in 2024 they'll face themselves under different conditions. The compatriots will both be racing against Jumbo-Visma this time around as Roglic is set to lead a new team that will fight for the biggest wins.
“For me, it’s gonna be the same, but for Roglič it will be even better at Bora, and it opens the competition more because he split with Jumbo. So now there is Jumbo and also Bora, so it’s a bigger competition," Pogacar told GCN in a recent interview.
After the Vuelta a Espana Roglic understood that he would not have the freedom to fight for a Tour de France title as a sole leader and decided to move away from the Dutch team. BORA - hansgrohe offered him a huge contract and a team that has strong climbers present already, and will make for good competition. Alongside Pogacar and Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel are also among those who will likely aim for the yellow jersey in July.
“I’m really sad that we lost some really good riders, but on the other hand, we also gained really good riders, so I would say it’s a super good team," Pogacar assures. "We already met each other in October and it was fantastic. I would say it’s a super team."

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
