It has been rumoured for a long time but prior to the start of the Giro dell'Emilia, Primoz Roglic confirmed that he will be leaving Jumbo-Visma. Although he was keeping relatively quiet pre-race, he opened up a bit further after the race.
"My personal goals and how everything is going... Together we decided to end it this way," the 33-year-old Slovenian told In de Leiderstrui post-race, clarifying just why he and Jumbo-Visma have decided to part ways. "That's better for both parties, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to new challenges."
In one of his final races for the Jumbo-Visma team, Roglic showed what they will be missing in 2024 as he powered to a sublime third Giro dell'Emilia victory after a brutal attack on the final climb that not even Tadej Pogacar could live with.
"Of course it's special. We have achieved so much together. But things also stay the same, heh!" he says with a smile. "There was little different towards the Italian autumn and I am here to do my job as best as possible. I will also do that in the next races, that is my focus now."

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
