Primoz Roglic on the Time Trial in the Critérium du Dauphiné: "I haven't ridden such a long time trial in a while"
Cycling
Primoz Roglic survived the first uphill finish in the Critérium du Dauphiné. The Slovenian leader of Jumbo-Visma crossed the finish line in 12th place.
Roglič saw teammate Wout van Aert just miss out on victory in Chastreix-Sancy. For a moment the Belgian thought he had won, but David Gaudu passed him with a final jump.
"He came from behind with speed and had an advantage with that, other than that, the whole team performed well. The guys were super strong. We have to remember the positive things and look forward." Roglič said.
Roglič is excited for individual time trial over 31.9 kilometers, from Montbrison to La Bâtie d'Urfé. “We'll see tomorrow how the legs feel. It will be a real challenge and I haven't ridden such a long time trial in a while, It will be nice ”, he concluded.

- It's going to happen at some point. It will happen to Tadej as well, we all get older. Jonas was in pretty great form at the tour. I still consider him a top two or three cyclist in the world, until he's not.awp15-11-2026

- Pogi takes care of his teammates in races and training. Tadej Pogačar is widely praised within the cycling peloton for his fair and egalitarian leadership, actively supporting his UAE teammates both on the road during races and behind the scenes at training camps. Rather than acting like an untouchable superstar, he has intense team loyalty by sharing daily chores, giving up personal glory to help domestiques, and publicly praising their sacrifices. Unlike some Grand Tour contenders, like Vingegaard, who occasionally train away from their squads, Pogi consistently attends team training camps alongside his domestiques, making the exact same sacrifices to build friendship. I love how Pogačar shares his teammates-domestiques, either when they succeed or win in races or when they simply just do a good job for him. It has to be a great moral boost for them. And then they work even harder and go even deeper for Pogi. This is teamwork.PogiSloFans15-11-2026
