"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.

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
