A new chapter at the Giro: Primož Roglič leads Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe

It's a special bond with the Giro d’Italia – and this year, the team is ready to write a new chapter in its Grand Tour story. Led by Primož Roglič, the squad enters the race with ambitions.

I agree that having two Giro winners plus a Giro runner up in the climbing section, three more or less strong rouleurs plus a young talent, that makes for a well rounded Giro team.

Is Primoz Roglic klaar voor Giro? “In zijn hoofd is de Tour het hoofddoel, misschien tegen beter weten in"

Interview Amper twaalf keer zagen we Primoz Roglic dit jaar in actie, maar voor velen is hij toch de topfavoriet voor de komende Giro d’Italia. De 35-jarige Sloveen wil zelf echter helemaal niet in die rol worden geduwd en maakt van de Tour de France zijn hoofddoel van het jaar, zegt zijn coach...

Confirmation, by coach, Rogla adapted his training to better match current crop of top GC riders, on where the racing is done differently as in the past. Selecting Giro-Tour was just as much Rogličes as it was the team decision, coach for example wanted to persuade Rogla Tour-Vuelta combo might suit him better. And confirmation that ultimately winning the Tour is still highest on the priority list for Rogla. Coach believes Pogi and Jonas are ahead and Rogla to fight for podium position at the Tour in this season, here likely Rogla again won't be persuaded into that, by coach, and has a slightly different plan.

I read it as team wanted Giro, coach wanted Giro-Vuelta and Rog could not be persuaded to do Giro-Vuelta.

That would surprise me if the team (in response to owners/sponsor’s desires) wouldn’t push for the Tour regardless of the combination. But then again, I’m easily surprised

Considering lengthy debates were involved indeed Rogla in the end must have naturally gravitated towards doing the chosen schedule. Coach hinting, that whatever we see at Giro, at Tour Rogla still plans to add some percents more. So assuming for Giro a mini peak at week 3 is to be expected on where season peak to still be targeted for the Tour. We'll see.
