Primoz Roglic was the first ever to declare that Jumbo Visma would go after the Vuelta with Sepp Kuss. The Slovenian said it immediately after the time trial in Valladolid, which saw him in very good shape just a few seconds behind Evenepoel, for him it was necessary to preserve the red jersey with Kuss who, right after the time trial, still had a good margin over everyone. A few days after Roglic’s sincere declaration that he was even the first to convince Kuss himself that he could have won the Vuelta, the Slovenian almost suffers from that choice. Even if you can’t see them, there are team orders inside the Jumbo. Roglic knows that he cannot put his teammate in difficulty, but he feels he is being stopped in these final stages. Despite this, it must be underlined, he had room for maneuver to win the Angliru stage.
