It’s been the intriguing subplot of the Tour de France so far: is Primož Roglič even bothered about doing well?
Previously such an unthinkable proposition – this is, after all, a fierce competitor who has won five Grand Tours and almost 100 races – Roglič began the race by delivering an oddly humorous and blasé press conference in which he laughed his way through and stated that “I don’t really care much” when asked if this could finally be the Tour in which he buries years of heartache. The message he was trying to project was that he doesn’t need the Tour to define him.
