The remarkable performance of Primoz Roglic this season, which includes an impressive seven wins, owes much to the invaluable assistance and guidance provided by a tennis academy, which played a vital role in his recovery from the shoulder injury.
“I went looking for the best person in the Monaco area. Through contact, we were able to place Primož at a professional tennis academy near Nice. There he was treated by an arms specialist who has a lot of experience in shoulder injuries in tennis players,” Mathieu Heijboer, head of performance of the Jumbo-Visma, told Wieler Revue.
The facility created a rehabilitation regimen for him that centred on two crucial components: rehabilitating his injury and adhering to the rigorous schedule required for competing in the Giro d'Italia. “We also took into account the possibility that the process would be much slower than it is now. In addition to the conditional arrears that he had, Primož has also just undergone a very serious operation. It could well have been that his shoulder had bothered him for longer.”
Though the injury initially derailed his plans and forced him to skip several races, he has made a resounding recovery and is now poised to contend for victory, as exemplified by his recent outstanding displays. “He missed a race, but also a lot of training work. He has not been able to do anything for months since September,” concluded Heijboer.
