"I find that Primoz Roglic's choice to join BORA-hansgrohe is a choice that is good for cycling" - Cyril Saugrain evaluates

Professional cyclist at the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 2000s, today a consultant at RTBF alongside the "famous" Rodrigo Beenkens, Cyril Saugrain, evaluates the 2023 season at Cyclism'Actu interview.
"Obviously, there was a little worry and even more astonishment, because this merger did not make sense, especially on a sporting level. In any case, it raised questions, it made the buzz. This is also the strength of social networks, things move so quickly, everyone takes advantage of it. In fact, we start to write lines about things which are perhaps just noises which are arrived by so-and-so. It would have been a big surprise to see Soudal Quick-Step disappear via a merger with the best team in the world."
"The 'science of racing' exists less and less, you just need to have a big team. I especially appeal to the runners, when I see that all the great runners are going almost all in the same teams... Ultimately, I find that Primoz Roglic's choice to join BORA-hansgrohe is a choice that is good for cycling."
Saugrain didn't hesitate when asked about the best rider of the year. "My choice is Tadej Pogacar! He is there in all types of races and throughout the season. I admired his analysis, particularly on the Tour of Flanders, where he understood that it was necessary to drop Van Aert and Van der Poel to be able to win. He wore them down one by one, attacking on each hill and it paid off."
