This 2024 season, which started in a thunderous manner for the Slovenian, could be historic if he manages to win. get ahead of the competition à both on the Giro and on the Tour de France, with a few days later, the road race of the Olympic Games à Paris. For this, its famous vinegar-salt-cucumber juice preparation could well help it to achieve this. prevent a failure.
