Cyclist Vlasov about the first training course with Roglic: “He is a simple, open guy, with whom it is pleasant to talk”

Russian cyclist BORA‑Hansgrohe Alexander Vlasov told that he had already organized his first joint training camp with the Slovenian Let’s help Roglic who will be captain of his team in the Tour de France.

Vlasov will be one of Roglic’s assistants on the 2024 “Grande Boucle”. The Tour de France starts on June 29 and ends on July 21 in Nice.

— Since I’m going to the Tour, I certainly won’t go to the Giro, but we’ll see from there.

— Is the last stage of the Tour near you?

— Yes, the last stage comes from Monaco and the finish in Nice, so I already know what awaits me.

— Have you ever had a joint training camp with Roglic?

— There was already a training camp in December. He’s a normal, open, simple guy who is pleasant to talk to.

— What goals do you set for the season? A new strong “general manager” is always a change in the balance of power and the racing schedule.

— I will have quite a few races without Primoz, where I will be captain and will have the opportunity to prove myself. I’m happy with the way I worked during the offseason. The preparation went as planned, there were no breakdowns, illnesses or injuries, thank God,” Vlasov told .
