He\u2019s not ready to quit yet. At least, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s ready for that, but we have to respect his decision. It will be hard for me to accept that we won&#8217;t be by his side along the road anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his European Championships glory last week, Lora paid tribute to her partner&#8217;s stellar career that included five Grand Tour wins and multiple instances where he bounced back from disappointment to put in top level performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat could be better than winning at home? When you lose, you lose, and you have to deal with it on your own. But winning is best when you\u2019re with others, when you can share that joy with someone. I can\u2019t think of a better moment than winning at home, for the people who were there for you even during tough times. For me, it was something extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Lora pays tribute to her husband&#8217;s career<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you look back, there were more difficult moments than happy ones. We were all proud of him when he won. But I\u2019m most proud of the moments when he convinced us that it was worth persevering, that we had to grit our teeth. All those moments when he kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his latest update on his future, Roglic put the onus on himself when it comes to lining up his next steps, claiming that he has bounced between feelings of wanting to retire or sign a new contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no major updates compared to a few days ago, I haven\u2019t decided yet,&#8221; Roglic told Siol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very significant things happened at the end of the season. I need to reflect on how to fit all of this into the bigger picture. I have a lot on my mind, and the issue is me. I have to decide whether to sign or call it a day.
