“My form is good, but there are still two difficult days ahead,” Roglič commented on his performance. The rider expressed his satisfaction with the victory, stating, “The team did a fantastic job controlling the breakaway from the start…After that, it was about finishing the work of the team.” With this win, Roglič has increased his season total to 11 victories and contributed to Team Jumbo-Visma’s overall season total of 48 wins.

As preparations for the Vuelta a España progress, Roglič remains confident in his form. “The preparations are going well. I’m here to connect the dots, and so far, it’s going well. My form is good, but there are still two difficult days ahead. Hopefully, I can test my legs again then.”
