Primoz Roglic's participation at Vuelta a Espana to be decided in coming days
CyclingSaturday, 13 August 2022 at 15:13
Primoz Roglic is showing good signs ahead of the Vuelta a Espana, however his participation is still very much at risk. The decision from Jumbo-Visma is yet to be made, which can make dramatic differences in the lineup the team is having over the coming weeks.
The report came from Ciro Scognamiglio of Gazzetta dello Sport, citing sources from within Jumbo-Visma. At this point, several teams have announced their lineups for the upcoming Vuelta, but Jumbo are likely to wait a few more days as they look to get as much feedback as possible from the three-time defending champion.
Roglic crashed in the Tour de France, suffering a dislocated shoulder, and posteriorly being diagnosed with two broken vertebrae which have kept him off the bike for weeks after he abandoned the Tour in the second week. The team went on to succeed deeply in the final week, however Roglic was now focused on the task of recovering as quickly as possible in order to still be able to be present at the Vuelta.
He's gotten back on the bike over the last week, but a decision is yet to be made. Without Roglic, the likes of Sepp Kuss, Rohan Dennis and Mike Teunissen are set to have their freedom to chase stage wins. With Roglic however, the team is more likely to follow a GC-oriented strategy and lineup. Big decisions are to be made for the Dutch team, and they will be cleared in the coming days.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
