"It's gonna be lovely. The battle of the 'Big 4', that's what people wanna see," the
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader, who has a long and intertwining history against all three of Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel, says in conversation with
Het Nieuwsblad. "I already know that we're gonna push each other to a higher level. I don't want to think about it, but it's gonna be crazy, from start to finish."
Having left Team Visma | Lease a Bike for the then named BORA - hansgrohe at the end of 2023, one of the main reasons for Roglic was the desire for more Tour de France leadership opportunities, having seen Vingegaard usurp his position as Tour de France leader at Visma. "I'll do everything I can, otherwise I wouldn't have changed teams. I don't want to regret a thing after my career," the three time Vuelta a Espana and one time Giro d'Italia winner adds. "But it's not the Tour that decides my life, although I give up a lot for it. I haven't slept in my own bed for 2 months."
