Champions always have to pay a high price for their success. The Slovenian Primoz Roglic (34 years) is well won in Madrid on Sunday the 79th edition of La Vueltawhere it was his fourth victory in the Spanish round, after 2019, 2020 and 2021. After a busy Sunday, ‘Rogla’ just wanted to go home to his wife and children, who traveled to Spain to celebrate his success with it, but first he had to visit the headquarters of Red Bull Spainan energy drink company that bought 51% of the German team in January Boro. During the event Roglic found a moment to attend MD.
What was the most difficult moment you faced in this Vuelta?
I went through some tough moments throughout the 21 stages of La Vuelta. Every day we both have new challenges to face and my team to overcome. Every day, we face different challenges.
