“We made history and I was part of it. But even if he had won the Vuelta, he would have left. I simply have greater opportunities elsewhere to achieve what I am still striving for. This was not a difficult decision, but a natural one. I got as much as I could with Jumbo. I got to the point where I had to leave. That doesn’t take away from how happy I was on the podium in Madrid. I hope to be happier in future photos and in a different shirt”, said Primoz Roglic.
