The 63 days of competition accumulated in the legs have not discouraged Primoz Roglic. Nor the 3,272 kilometers of the recent Tour of Spain, where he was proclaimed winner. The 29-year-old Slovenian will go to the Yorkshire World Cup to take part in three races: the road fund, the individual time trial and the mixed clock, the main novelty of this edition.
The 12 victories of his triumphant 2018 seem to have encouraged the Jumbo-Visma runner, who two years ago hung the silver at the Bergen World Cup, 57 seconds behind Tom Dumoulin. It is now presented as a reference for a Slovenia where Tadej Pogacar and Matej Mohoric also stand out. The team is completed by Grega Bole, David Per, Luka Pibernik, Jan Polanc and Jan Tratnik.
Roglic's options increase in individual time, given Dumoulin's absence, injured as Chris Froome. You can also benefit from the bad form of Rohan Dennis. The 54-kilometer test is held on Wednesday 25 between the towns of Northallerton and Harrogate.
Three days before, the winner of the Tour of Romandía and the Tyrrhenian-Adriatic, will take the exit in the novel mixed chrono, of 28 kilometers, where he shares equipment with Pogacar and Tratnik. Three brokers will be added to this trio: Urka Brave, Eugenia Bujak and Ura Pintar.
