"I see Roglic potentially moving to INEOS Grenadiers or Lidl-Trek" - Former teammate of Primoz Roglic expects the Slovenian to leave Jumbo-Visma

Jumbo-Visma proved themselves to be the dominant force in Grand Tour cycling at the recent Vuelta a Espana, completing the podium with Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic. A former teammate of theirs, Amund Jansen doesn't expect that dominance to last though. 

"I think things are going well for them now. When I turned pro at Jumbo, Quick-Step was dominant in the classics. Everything was going against us back then. Once you're in a winning flow, everything else falls into place," explains the 29-year-old Norwegian who currently rides for Team Jayco AlUla in conversation with IDL Pro Cycling. "But I think we'll all forget how well Jumbo-Visma did in two years, because then another team will win everything. A bit like what happened with Sky during the times of Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome. That dominance shifts every two to three years."

One aspect in particular from the most recent of their Grand Tour successes stood out. The uncertainty surrounding who is the true leader of the team. For a long while, that title fell undisputedly on the shoulders of Primoz Roglic but back-to-back Tour de France victories from Jonas Vingegaard have seen him supplant his Slovenian teammate in the eyes of many. At the Vuelta though, both worked in the service of Sepp Kuss.

"You can't keep so many good riders together for long. They all have their own ambitions. At some point, some guys will opt for another team. That's why I see Roglic potentially moving to INEOS Grenadiers or Lidl-Trek," predicts Jansen. "That would be quite a logical choice. And that would then prevent Jumbo-Visma from pulling off a 1-2-3 in a Grand Tour."
