Juan Ayuso and Primoz Roglic. The Spanish and Slovenian corridor monopolize all the spotlights before the start of the 2025 turning this Friday in Albanian lands and leave as the two main favorites to get the victory in the general classification. Alberto Contador, twice champion of the Italian round, values the duel between them.
last year, Pogacar won almost 10 minutes of advantage, but in 2023 Roglic only beat Thomas for 14 seconds. The Slovenian is now the most favorite with Ayuso, 13 years younger than him. Is it possible that we see such an exciting battle between them this year? What could decide in favor of one or the other?
Accountant: “Well, I think it will be at odd Roglic is sure that he knows what it is to win big turns five times.

With Roglic and Ayuso as great favorites, what weight will the experience have? Could this be a decisive advantage for Roglic?
“Yes, that is an advantage. In addition, it is not a matter of being a veteran, it is a matter that it has been won five big turns, four laps, a turn, and that is because you know how to manage the moments of crisis, you know how The balance would decant in favor of Roglic.

Who could be the most fearsome opponent for Roglic and Ayuso?
“Well, I think there is a very large fan. We have the two Yates brothers there and we will see how Egan Bernal arrives, how Richard Carapaz arrives. Or Mikel Landa, which last year made a great season. Then, there are runners who, although they are veterans, are going more and more, such as Peio Bilbao. We are also going to see Antonio Tiberi, of the Baréin team, which I think I have to runner who promises a lot and is improving.

We could witness a great Ayuso-Roglic duel in this year’s turn. After Roglic’s victory in the Volta to Catalonia earlier this year, do you think that the UAE Team Emirates can still be stopped in a great three -week return?
“Let’s see, of course there are others who can win. Here all cyclists are human, everyone can have bad days and then also tactically influence how you move. Roglic was very strong on the last day (in the Volta to Catalunya) and I believe that this has surely been even good for Juan Ayuso in the face of the Giro de Italia, because I believe that he has been able to look more, analyze everything. He ran, because this happens to you, it can even be positive for the turn to see what could happen, analyze it … and, of course, it can be stopped (the UAE Team Emirates).
The turn has not won any 35 -year -old cyclist. What possibilities do you attribute to Roglic so that I can achieve it this year?
“Age is a thing in which I have never noticed. This is like all statistics and others, but what is clear is that Roglic, which is still at a tremendous level, demonstrates it in each competition in which he is and of course that in fact is the man to beat in this Italian turn.”
