"The program for 2025? I will choose the races where Tadej (Pogacar) will not be present." This is the joking, but perhaps not so much, comment of Primoz Roglic , who spoke on the sidelines of a charity event in Slovenia.

According to Cyclismeactu, Roglic then added: “We’ll see, I haven’t thought about the race program in detail yet, but first I have to ‘reset’ and take a bit of rest, then I’ll think about where I’ll race next year.”

If this joke is any indication, Roglic could be at the start of the Giro d'Italia (which passes through Slovenia), although he confessed that the Tour de France is always a goal for him.
