Yeah, I'd have thought Jumbo will want Roglic at the Tour, but maybe he figures if he tries to do the Giro-Tour double he'll end up supporting Vingegaard. Talk is Roglic will target the Vuelta.

Jumbo (the grocery chain) is leaving cycling after 2024. Maybe Roglic or his agent is thinking the team then won't be able to afford the same roster, and he wants Grand Tour wins now to land a GC leader spot at a big-budget team.
