the slovenian Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma) fulfilled his status as Olympic time trial champion by winning Itzulia’s first time trial held in Hondarribia, where Vuelta’s triple winner signed “a great start”.
“I’m super happy that I won. The route is short, but very technical, with lots of curves. I feel so good, and in fact, it’s crazy to start winning and be the leader ”, Roglic said at the finish line.
Roglic won with a 5-second advantage against Belgian Remco Evenepoel and 16 against Frenchman Remi Cavagna, short difference, but the Slovenian is one of those who thinks “it’s always good to start with an advantage”.
“This is just the beginning. It was 10 minutes of effort and we knew the differences wouldn’t be huge, but I always say that it is better to have an advantage than to be a disadvantage. This situation is a good way to start, but it doesn’t mean anything yet. “
On the podium, Roglic celebrated his first leadership with his son, another stimulus to face the competition for Olympic time trial champion.
“For me, family is the most important, they are my first fans. I really enjoy the presence of the public, and if my relatives are present even better, it is another reason for improvement, “he concluded.
