It takes a special Rider to win a grand tour at the peak of fitness and form seus he’s going to take the lead of this race by the looks of things supported by a dedicated team seus has been distanced unwavering in their loyalty this is not a man thinking oh I’ll just

Let my teammate keep holder a jersey this is a proper bid for it all fully committed to the plan they’re not waiting they’ve gone there was a plan wasn’t there if the conclusion of the 2023 bup left some of us confused it may have helped clarify things for Primo RIT the

Fulltime Grand Tour winner decided to move on from yumbo visma and seek a new possibly simpler team Dynamic with Bora Hans Kos now we are here at the team trucks it’s no more yellow colors here it’s all green how does it feel to be out here and see

All different colors and all different bikes something newer is I mean is just different you were uh surrounded so so long for uh with yes with yellow uh but uh now was uh at least easier to to change you know when you change every year for a new clothes it’s not question

Then either is this one still from last year or for year before I needed to change everything to put on yes uh new colors and new clothes I’m happy super happy actually with the winter I skied for two times uh the first time after a long time with the with the team in

Zan then we we also went with the whole family to to Tina for uh 9 days uh had a beautiful time on the snow I still like it in the in the winter I was the my whole life Chas chasing snow I enjoyed and yeah now putting the the hours and

Kil in to to start the season after eight trophy Laden Seasons with the Dutch outfit how is Primos settling in to his new surroundings I’m just excited huh he uh just uh really a bunch of uh new people everything is uh is completely new around me uh new goals new yeah new

Challenges and uh yeah for me uh coming to this team is uh just because yes we we had immediately the the the common way or path where to go for what to work for and uh yeah we try to become uh the best team as one of a very select group with

A strong chance to take the yellow Jersey home and a proven Grand Tour winner RIT has long been a much sought after Rider so at what point did the Slovenian decide his future lay away from yumbo visma the thought that was was in my mind for quite some time let’s say at

Least one year or something and I mean at the end yes everything lead to the way that uh yes was quite simple to to say from from the team and from ourself yes that that’s it and I mean we we achieved incredible things together I mean we are all super happy and proud

About it but yes uh it’s time for for a new challenge obviously I’m not 24 but 34 and uh yeah it it keeps you moving h i mean it keeps you going and I mean yeah that’s that’s the most important so for me was super welcome to to do that step

Uh to to go this way uh and uh I mean at the end yes result will also tell us how how good uh it it was with a clear ambition to win the Tour to France and complete the set of grand tour winners jerseys does the Slovenian now feel his new soulle

Leadership role at Bora Hans will make his quest for Glory simpler the most important thing from my side is yes to have as much people as possible uh so that goes to to Riders around me and also all the stuff and all the people on

The same page on the with yes looking uh from the same angle uh to the things and then yes just going for it and uh I mean enjoying for it uh the other reason is uh I mean with having more strong Riders yes it’s also I mean the whole team is

Uh is lifting up uh so yeah I mean that’s the the second part I’m not here just to to now go and yeah look for for my ass uh to to do the best things but I mean I’m here obviously because I want to to leave the team I want something

More from from everyone around so that’s of of course mechanics nutritionist uh swanes uh sport director s and also the Riders I mean and yes like Alex said and J I mean they they hopefully they will learn out something out of me and yes we we all become

Stronger since the tour is your objective we know every stage is important did you pick any moments they are more important than others or you go now day by day uh yeah like from the experiences I mean in the tour you have to go through day by day I mean you have

To survive and to come to the in that case when we start from the back to the front is yes the crucial one is with the time trial stage yeah 21 it will finish with the time trial it’s a hard time trial from Monaco to tunise and yeah

Going from the back then yeah hard mountains last week and then if you know Skip to to the start immediately a hard start uh with the with the with the Hil first two stages I think the third one yes is a Sprint and then again big big huge mountains finishing yeah over Gali

Down in Valar uh having yes this uh gravel stage that will again spicy up uh the things even more yeah and yeah the time trials I mean we we all know everybody gets uh his own time so yeah is is super super important going to to

The front it looks like it’s you yunas T andu even po racing you like any of them more or less or you think some is easier to beat or to fight against it or they all look really strong to you uh it’s beautiful H I’m just super super happy I

Mean that uh and hopefully as we can uh we we we all go to the tour and I mean that’s something uh that is is the best for cycling is the best for the people to watch is the best uh for us to to have the highest level and really I mean

The the best one we in
