Primož Roglič has opened up about the highs and lows of his 2023 season, contrasting the "incredible moment" where Giro d'Italia glory swung to, away, and then back to him on Monte Lussari with the "uncomfortable" intra-team situation at the Vuelta a España.

Speaking to Dutch newspaper AD just ahead of the new year and the official first days as a Bora-Hansgrohe rider, Roglič said that he had "achieved the maximum I could" with Jumbo-Visma as he looks ahead to pastures new.
