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
Primoz Roglic training for Vuelta a España in middle of Tour de France - "Ah yeah, I try to prepare for Vuelta"
CyclingSaturday, 16 July 2022 at 07:00
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.
