In a move that has shaken the cycling world in recent days, a possible union between two renowned teams, Jumbo Visma and Soudal Quick Step, has been announced. This news, which has been labeled a "bombshell" in world cycling, could have profound implications for the future of some of the top riders on these teams.
Among the most notable consequences would be the possible departure of several riders, including two big names: Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel. The main reason behind the need to disengage from certain riders is the overcrowding of registered riders that would result from the merger between Jumbo Visma and Soudal Quick Step. The question on everyone's mind is what will happen to Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel.
For several weeks now, rumors of Primoz Roglic's possible departure from Jumbo Visma have been on everyone's lips. However, with the merger now closer to becoming a reality, interest from other teams in the three-time Vuelta a España winner and reigning Giro d'Italia champion has reached unimaginable levels.
Four teams in particular have expressed interest in acquiring Roglic's services, and all are rumored to have approached the Slovenian during the last Vuelta a España. The teams interested in signing Primoz Roglic are:
1. Bahrain Victorious: The Bahraini team, which has been on the rise in recent years, sees Roglic as the piece that could take them to the next level in Grand Tours.
2. Jayco AlUla: This Australian team has proven its ability to compete at the international level and considers Roglic an invaluable asset in its quest for elite cycling achievements.
3. Lidl Trek: Another team that has set its sights on Roglic. Their experience and resources could offer a new stage for the Slovenian.
4. Movistar Team: Although the Spanish team had previously shown interest in Roglic, the merger between Jumbo Visma and Soudal Quick Step could make its offer even more attractive.

- "was a headliner at the Tour de France" Nobody cared about Piddie. Only rivals that were there for Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Sexias, Lipo, Del Toro and they were all expected to lose. Piddie was not even in any conversation.abstractengineer08-11-2026

- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
