The seven riders that will support Primoz Roglic in pursuit of his first Giro d'Italia

Primoz Roglic has three Vuelta a Espana titles and a second place in the Tour de France to his name. Now, he will be looking to win his first Giro d'Italia with Jumbo-Visma and against a rival of the stature of Remco Evenepoel.

After winning Tirreno-Adriatico and the Volta a Catalunya, the team that will accompany the Slovenian in the Corsa Rosa next month is practically defined. The roster, as expected, is a luxury one. It's not the one that Jonas Vingegaard will take to the Tour de France, but we can't imagine a stronger team of support riders than the one that will accompany Roglic in the next Giro.

In the mountains, he will have the support of men like Robert Gesink, Tobias Foss and Jan Tratnik, who have proven in the past to be capable of pushing the pace of the peloton to a level of hardness that perfectly matches that required by their leaders. Undoubtedly, the main domestique should be Sepp Kuss, a life insurance.

Edoardo Affini, Koen Bouwman, Tobias Foss, Robert Gesink, Michel Hessmann, Sepp Kuss and Jan Tratnik will be the chosen ones (barring last minute changes that can always occur) to try to accompany Roglic in his aim to win the Giro d'Italia 2023.
