Primoz Roglic, who won the second individual time trial at the Giro d'Italia, has confirmed that he will be present at the start of the Tour de Pologne. The LottoNL Jumbo rider is in his first year of racing at WorldTour level with LottoNL-Jumbo and explained that he is looking forward to the seven stage race which concludes with a time trial in Kraków.

"It will be the first time I’ve ever participated in the Tour de Pologne, but I’ve heard that the race is really well organized. My team mates have told me lots of good things about the race organization and also the food and hospitality at the hotels. I've seen the route and, at least on paper, I'd say I like what I see. I think it's suited to my skills and I think I will set out as leader of the team", the rider told Cyclingnews. "The stages in the second part of the competition cater particularly to my strengths. I'm pretty good on climbs and I think I'll be able to keep pace with the best, and then the final time trial in Krakow will be to my advantage. The goal at the Tour de Pologne will be to jostle for the top positions in the general classification. After the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de Pologne will be my main objective on the road to Rio 2016. I'm going to be at the start of the Olympic Games and I'm sure that Poland will give me the perfect boost, all the better to prepare for this exceptionally important event."
