Jumbo-Visma’s Primož Roglič is currently one of the biggest names in the men’s WorldTour peloton, and has 17 stage victories across all three Grand Tours to his name.
The Slovenian has won the Vuelta a España on three occasions, and has won a plethora of stage races across his hugely successful career, including at Tirreno-Adriatico, Paris-Nice and the Volta a Catalunya.
Back in the rearranged Tokyo Olympics, Roglič also won gold in the men’s individual time trial.
In 2023, he’s targeting overall victory at the Giro d’Italia.
