Primoz Roglic was only a ski jumper, and is now favourite to win the Giro d’italia. Currently he does not have to defend only his rivals, but also of suspicion that hovers over the Slovenian Cycling.
Primoz Roglic of steel in Pinerolo quickly away from the target area. It was as if he wanted to disappear under the Radar. Sporty, he had to behave this Thursday very inconspicuous. Roglic presented to a group of outsiders a license to Uproot and avoided doing before the big challenges in the mountains to wear the Pink Jersey. He can save his forces and those of the Teams. A pleasant side effect for the Slovenes was that he had to face the questions of the journalists. He left his country man Jan Polanc, who slipped as the best-placed rider of the breakaway group into the Pink Jersey. Polanc has had to answer what was going on with the Doping in Slovenia, so on.
The Suspicion
Two Slovenian professional cyclists have recently been identified as clients of the alleged doping doctor Mark S. of Erfurt. A third Slovenian, Milan ores, the founder of the racing team Bahrain, Merida, is said to have Schmidt allegedly after a blood centrifuge inquired. The need for blood doping.
Polanc went on a distance to the doping suspect. “I can only say that I have to deal with these people nothing. I know ores, saw him at a race in Slovenia. But I had no connection to him. My Training organized by my father, I need no one else,” said Polanc.
Roglic is one of the favourites for the overall victory of this year’s Giro d’italia
Roglic has it harder, the Compounds to deny. Ores was finally Athletic Director at the Slovenian Team Adria Mobil, as well as the Ex-skiers Roglic hired there. Ores, however, remained only a few months before he moved to Bahrain. As the discoverer Roglic ores is out of the question thus. The first training plans for the Slovenes wrote to, of all things, Marko Polanc, the father and Trainer of the current Giro leader.
The Explorer
Explorers of the Radtalents Roglic, however, is a different man: the sport scientists, Radoje Milic. He works in the Institute for exercise physiology in Ljubljana and supervision just a test of more than 100 young ski Jumpers and ski Jumpers, as the DW-reporters visited him in his laboratory.
Seven years ago, Milic analyzed in these spaces, the efficiency Roglics. At the time, he was still Radamateur. “He was so good that I was asked to test his Potential,” says Milic of the DW. “The results were tremendous. I said to him: ‘Prepare in the lead group in the Pro Tour ride!'” Milic determined in Roglics the blood, oxygen intake capacity of 80 milliliters per Minute and kilogram body weight. The values were in the range of a Chris Froome.:The four-times tour winner in 2007 were measured, as he was still in the lower leagues with Team Minolta, 80,2 ml/min/kg. In 2015, he should have – if at the time of his Team Sky published data were correct – at 88 ml/min/kg is located. Well, that Roglic happened in the past seven years, with intense Cycling training in similar regions.
The Attempt At An Explanation
Perseverance he had as a ski jumper. The Zvone Pograjc, ski jumping coach reported in Kisovec, the birthplace of the professional cyclists. “I know Primoz basically since his birth. My house and his parents are just 200 metres away. When he was eight, nine years old, I saw that he was talented as a ski jumper very. He had this aggressiveness, was very brave and good in Stretching,” says Pograjc. These qualities would benefit his former protege in his new Sport. “If you have a flexible body, it helps you also in the time trial, if you need to extremely take strenuous positions.” The courage and aggressiveness to the benefit of Roglic, especially in the case of the departures, says Pograjc. The feeling of high speeds.
Compared to other ski Jumpers Roglic was noticed by a greater endurance, especially in interval training, reported to be Ex-coach. Consistently on endurance, Roglic’ve trained but only after 2009 – since the age of 20. Years of age, when he ceased definitively with the Jump. “After my fall on the flying hill in Planica in 2007, I have trained further. But I was no longer better, while many around me, I was that before, were flying now more than I,” said Roglic the DW-Reporter a few years ago.

That Roglic came so late to the endurance sports, is in the eyes of Milics even a lucky coincidence. To mountains, extensive endurance training at a young age, the danger is that a good “engine” ausbrenne: “If you start early, you often make two mistakes: You neglected the power aspect, and operates only extensive forms of training.” Roglic, however, a versatile trained muscles. The contrary to come to him now, even in the Uphill Sprints. Endurance talent plus explosive muscles plus physical agility plus boldness even at the highest speeds – that is the formula for success for the ski jumper, is now a cyclist.
Bogdan Fink, the team Manager, gave Roglic the first contract as a professional cyclist, it looks more pragmatic. “Primoz has just elected the first the wrong Sport. In his village, the boys are almost all of the ski jumpers, so he did it,” says the operator of the racing team Adria Mobil of the DW. Fink showed up on demand, surprised by the accusations against his former Athletic Director ores. Doping activities, he had not observed him at that time, and in a Team, also not promoted or supported, notes Fink.
