"So far, so good" - Primoz Roglic eyes Paris-Nice victory and experience with new teammates

The opening day of Paris-Nice saw a Primoz Roglic sharp and ready, responding to a dangerous attack from Remco Evenepoel and maintaining his position in the overall classification. It was his first racing day in a BORA - hansgrohe kit, and he looks for it to be a successful stint.
"We will see, we’ll certainly try to do our best. Obviously we don’t know each other that well, we’ve never raced together so a bunch of things will happen and you have to be open to everything," Roglic told CyclingWeekly at the start of Paris-Nice. “The most important thing is that you take the learnings out of it all and carry that into the next races that follow.”
Teaming up with the likes of Aleksandr Vlasov and Danny van Poppel, it is an important week for the Slovenian who gets to race with his new teammates and domestiques at the highest level. A necessary task ahead of a very ambitious season where he looks to win the Tour de France. "Yeah it's beautiful, I like it. So far, so good. Everything's been fine. I’ve just been looking forward to coming here and getting the season started.”
Roglic is a former race winner, in 2022, and as a resident of Monaco - directly next to Nice - he will be quite motivated to slowly ride towards home within four challenging days of racing. "After all the years, you collect a lot of different emotions but you definitely always keep the best ones,” he said. “It's a really great race, and I'm looking forward to going day by day towards home now.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
