"It is inexplicable" - Richard Plugge critical after Jumbo-Visma logos are covered up on talk show Op1
Cycling
After his sensational Giro d'Italia victory, Primoz Roglic was invited on to the talk show Op1 on Tuesday, alongside Jumbo-Visma sports director Merijn Zeeman and general manager Richard Plugge. Jumbo-Visma labels however were notably covered up.
“It is inexplicable and remains sad indeed. It is true that the name and logo of Jumbo-Visma - just like the EO and NPO - are brands," Plugge spoke out on Twitter following the interview in response to a Tweet by presenter Maarten Bouwhuis. "We saw countless images in which the names of Jumbo Supermarkets, Visma and Cervélo and the rest were clearly visible."
Indeed whilst the Jumbo-Visma label on Roglic's top had clearly been taped over, the Cavallero logo, the maker of the shirt was strangely uncovered. "Yes, Cavallero looked good on it!' Plugge also commented.

Het is niet uit te leggen en blijft treurig inderdaad. Klopt dat naam en logo van @JumboVismaRoad net als eo en npo merken zijn. We zagen talloze beelden waarin de namen van @JumboSupermarkt, @visma, @cervelo en de rest goed zichtbaar waren. Dus 🤷♂️
