DAUPHINE. A few days before the big start of the Tour de France, Primoz Roglic won the Criterium du Dauphiné.
He was considered the big favorite of this edition, Primoz Roglic responded well and won this 2022 edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné. “The whole team was super strong, not just me and Jonas (Vingegaard), but also all of our team-mates. Everything was under control from the start, we rode all day and each rider, one by one, did their part. Jonas was really strong on the final climb, it was crazy. It’s an incredible day for the whole team. We can see that things are going in the right direction, we can be confident for the future. There is now still a bit of work to do to be ready for the Tour”.
For this last stage, the show of force of the Jumbo was impressive with Jonas Vingegaard back at the highest level, he who won this last stage. “We had a plan, I had to attack and Primoz Roglic had to follow me. We wanted to try to find ourselves both alone in the final, and we did it. I think we can be happy and proud. During the spring classics I wasn’t in my best shape, but now I’m back at a high level, I’m very happy about it, it’s great to win one of the biggest races in the world. In addition, to finish 2nd in the general classification is an excellent result for me. To be honest, it will be difficult for us to do 1 and 2 on the Tour de Francethe level will be even higher, but we will go there with the hope of seeing one of us win the Tour”.
