After the cobbles, likely as he's done this year, the Slovenian may still race the Ardennes before then focusing on the
Tour de France once again. “I'm going for even more stage wins. I hope there will be opportunities for the attackers next year. I haven't looked at the route properly yet, but I know we will have a stage on unpaved roads.”
The gravel stage caught his particular attention, and whilst he is not completely in favour of it's presence in a Grand Tour, he does think he stands a chance - naturally, as he is the reigning Gravel World Champion. “However, I am not just looking at this stage. I have the luxury of not having to think about a general classification and being able to take some risks every now and then.”
