"I always say: you never know what will happen in life" - Primoz Roglic refuses to rule out possible Tour de France involvement

Having successfully added the Giro d'Italia to his previous Vuelta a Espana victories, just one Grand Tour is missing from Primoz Roglic's palmares. When asked about a possible return to France later this summer, he was giving nothing away.

"I would like to go home now, to let everything that happened sink in. And to spend time with my family," he replies when first asked by NOS during the celebrations in Amsterdam as Roglic and Jumbo-Visma were welcomed back to the Netherlands, Giro d'Italia trophy in hand. When pushed however he refuses to rule it out. "No. Maybe. I don't know. Who knows. I always say: you never know what will happen in life, what challenges and opportunities you will get."
