"Primoz doesn't get nervous about Tadej" - Marc Reef assures that Primoz Roglic doesn't make much of losing to Tadej Pogacar yet again
CyclingSunday, 08 October 2023 at 04:00
Before the race, every cycling follower agreed that there were three top favorites for this year's Il Lombardia: Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel and the eventual winner Tadej Pogacar. Yet during the course of the race it was only the first rider's formation that took control.
Afterwards, Jumbo-Visma sports director Marc Reef provided text and explanation to In de Leiderstrui, admitting that there had been discussions. "UAE-Team Emirates did say that Sjoerd Bax had fallen, which was actually the man who should have been pacing. It is always a game," the sporting director explains. Soudal Quick-Step riders Evenepoel and Mauri Vansevenant were also involved in Bax's fall - who broke his thigh.
Ultimately, Roglic had to settle for third place in Bergamo. "Pogacar was the strongest," Reef makes no bones about it. "He rides away at the top, that's where he had most of it left. Primoz had just caught back there, so it's an honest story. Of course, there is still the game behind it, where there is more looking at each other than there is the intention to pace back to Pogacar. But you always have that a little bit."
This was yet another time the older of the two phenomenal Slovenians lost but Reef reassures it's not an issue for Roglic. "But actually Primoz doesn't get nervous about Tadej. They always focus on each other, and you really saw that in Tre Valli Varesine. Then the third won with Van Wilder, but now Pogacar was simply the strongest. Then we have to be satisfied with third place," concludes the sporting director.

leedorney16-11-2024 - Most cycling sites in English are behind a pay wall. And I assume they do not show you ads then. I also would live to see all news for free and no ads. Not sure then how they will pay all writers. Or maybe they also work for free. Just because they love cycling. That would be perfect 😀 And hope the server provider also is a huge cycling fan, so they can get that for free too. 😉
