"Have passion, enjoy what you are doing and keep fighting for it" - Primoz Roglic's advice to young cyclists
CyclingMonday, 04 December 2023 at 19:00
Few riders have been as successful as Primoz Roglic in recent years as the Slovenian has continually competed for victory in the biggest races on the calendar.
This was again evident throughout 2023 as Roglic took victory at the Giro d'Italia in thrilling fashion, edging Geraint Thomas by just 14 seconds in the battle for the Maglia Rosa. Now, courtesy of the official X (Twitter) account of the Giro d'Italia, Roglic has been asked to give some advice to those hoping to emulate his accomplishments in the coming years.
"Have passion eh," he begins. "I mean, have passion, enjoy what you are doing and keep fighting for it. It's really never easy. The nicest things that you can get are the hardest. So yes, you have to put a lot of effort into achieving big things."
In 2024 of course, Roglic will ride for BORA - hansgrohe, having made the biggest transfer switch of the window and departing Jumbo-Visma. Although his main aim for the year is expected to be the Tour de France, pieces of advice such as this could be key in helping the younger riders of the team to develop under his leadership.

- Interesting suggestion, fo you think testing Tadej’s (or Bolts’ or so many others’) parents would have given us a preview of his potential then or what criteria do you have to pick parents with?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- Even amateur teams suffer this sort. But this is also largely due to the precarious sponsorship, in very few sports do you find kit with so many sponsors having to be integrated and changing so regularly.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- I think it’s pretty obvious what was responsible for destroying interest that used to be there.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- This has been stated repeatedly, MVDP for CX, road and if it already counts, gravel. Lavreysen for track. I expect as a cycling fan you’ve heard of them?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024
