Primoz Roglic training for Vuelta a España in middle of Tour de France - "Ah yeah, I try to prepare for Vuelta"
Cycling
Primoz Roglic is one of the most crucial rider Jumbo Visma has in the Tour de France. He finished in the 58th position in the thirteenth stage, 5 minutes and 58 seconds behind stage winner Mads Pedersen.
While in the middle of the race, Roglic disclosed his plans for Vuelta a España to Eurosport correspondent Alberto Contador. When Contador said "Try to recover my friend, try to recover. Little by little." Roglic replied in a sarcastic way “Ah yeah, I try to prepare for Vuelta.”
He is certainly known for his sense of humor so it was no surprise when he mentioned preparing for a grand tour in the middle of another grand tour. He has won the last three editions of Vuelta a España. The tour begins on August 19 and Roglic seems to be ready to take another victory.

- 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
- mij, I am not so sure of that. I have been on a spine ward at a Denver hospital that had quite a few spinal injuries from mountain biking.BDBigGuy15-11-2026
- 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

Just a quick chat in the middle of Stage 13 ... @albertocontador: "Try to recover, yes? Little by little." @rogla: "I try to, huh? Preparation for the Vuelta." Nothing like looking ahead 👀 #TdF2022
