When Lewis Hamilton activate the Hammer time in Formula 1, his rivals already know that the British will rip off the stickers. Something similar happened to Jorge Lorenzo when he applied the same method, which led to him winning three MotoGP world titles. Now, also on wheels, Primoz Roglic replicates the ‘hammer mode’ of their engine counterparts. And it is that the Slovenian has culminated a brilliant year with his second triumph in the Back to Spain, a steamroller of winning races regardless of her profile and characteristics that has led her to be the undisputed number 1 in cycling today, and it is not just a mere way of speaking.
At just 31 years old, Roglic ends the season as UCI world ranking leader thanks to his coronation in Madrid, a place where he has ousted from the highest Tadej Pogacar, who dominated the classification after his triumph in the Back to France. In this way, Roglic retaliates for bitter defeat in the Large loop against his compatriot with a not inconsiderable award, being the second consecutive year that he finished as number 1 in the world.
Primoz Roglic Season 2020
| Me | Race | Outcome |
| June | Slovenian National (route) | Winner |
| June | Slovenian National (Time Trial) | 2nd |
| August | Ain Tour | Winner (plus 2 stages) |
| August | Dauphiné Criterium | Retreat (was leading) |
| August September | Tour de France | 2nd (plus 1 stage) |
| September | World (route) | 6th |
| October | Liège-Bastogne-Liège | Winner |
| October November | Back to Spain | Winner (plus 4 stages) |
Your numbers in 2020 are simply a scandal, with twelve wins which are divided as follows: Slovenian National, two stages and general of the Tour de l’Ain, Dauphiné stage, stage in the Tour, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the final climax in the Vuelta, with four partial victories and the general classification. And although he does not add to the list of triumphs, the Slovenian also took home the green jersey as the winner of the points classification.
Despite being so successful in itself, Roglic has also taken advantage of the bad days, or rather, the less exalted ones. And it is that of all the races that have finished, without counting stages in great tours, Primoz’s worst result is … sixth place! This record corresponds to the Cycling World Cups held in Italy, where after the beating of the Tour, Roglic was able to sign a respectable result, although without the option of fighting for a medal. In the rest of the races that he did not win, except for the withdrawal of the Dauphiné, he finished second: Slovenian national in time trial and Tour de France. And it seems that Roglic’s hammer has rope left for a while …
