So, what did you miss?<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Slovenian is confident<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 30-year-old Jumbo-Visma pro was interviewed by ciclo21 and when asked whether he considered himself the big favourite for the Tour, Rogli\u010d simply replied: \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou already know what I mean. The best rider will win,\u201d Rogli\u010d said. \u201cWe are all going to fight to get it and, if you look at my results from the last few seasons, you will see that I have won a few races. Therefore, I see no reason not to be optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7gmiYIoOLu\/<\/p>\n<p>However, there are other riders who fancy having a go at the Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only appointment I\u2019ve set myself is the Tour de France and until then every week I\u2019m just going to keep chipping away. Every race building up to July, and hope that come that start line in Nice in July I\u2019ll be ready to go,\u201d says the four-time winner Chris Froome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think at the end of the day the Tour is the Tour and I just wanted to give it one more good go,\u201d Geraint Thomas admits. \u201cFrom the start it\u2019s very challenging, up and down, every two or three days there\u2019s a tough day. It\u2019s different in that respect, there aren\u2019t the traditional flatter days. That\u2019ll be exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn\u2019t forget about other big names. Bernal, Alaphilippe, Dumoulin, Kruijswijk, Buchmann. The 2020 Tour is shaping up to be a really big one.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hope you enjoyed the weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7aitAfgaXb\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Respect<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/mollyweaver94\/status\/1217136178736107520<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Willis!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7P9IXFB6ep\/?utm_source=ig_embed<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Great idea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7g3nrZg1dE\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Monday is here and our news from the world of cycling with it!
