As soon as it became known that Primož Roglič would not continue with Jumbo, several squads contacted the Slovenian’s agent to have his services. And aside from the rumors, today it was confirmed that Movistar was not one of the interested teams.
With the great telephone monster behind them, it is likely that they would have had the capital to add Roglič, but from the head of the staff they reported that they never had any intentions. Logical if it is understood that the sponsor’s focus of interest is distributed between Latin America and Spain. But could it be true that they didn’t think about him?
“I don’t think we needed it,” Sebastián Unzué told Marca. “With Enric Mas, Nairo Quintana and the young people who continue to grow, we are covered,” he continued, in a controversial statement because it is clear that in terms of sports, these runners are far behind the now leader of BORA.
“It is always attractive to sign a great leader, but the priorities for this year were different and I think we made a good market,” explained Unzué. “We have taken advantage of opportunities like that of Lorenzo Milesi and we have confidence in the other signings,” he insisted.
The truth is that if it had had the approval of Telefónica or the additional contribution of another sponsor, Movistar would surely have tried to sign Primož Roglič. There is nothing wrong with not being able to do it, but with trying to explain that they were not interested in one of the best runners in the world and that is why they opted for Quintana, Milesi or Cavagna.
