“He has received a huge offer beyond all expectations" - More details on Primoz Roglic's Jumbo-Visma departure
CyclingMonday, 02 October 2023 at 09:23
It is official. From the mouth of the Slovenian superstar himself, Primoz Roglic will leave Jumbo-Visma in the coming days, the only question now is where will he end up?
Speaking prior to the Giro dell'Emilia, Roglic confirmed the speculation that he had indeed agreed with Jumbo-Visma that a departure would be best for both parties. "I can definitely confirm that I will leave the team," Roglic announced. "But we want to tell all the details only after all the races that I have to do, so I stay focused on the racing."
According to GCN, an unnamed team boss has revealed that Roglic could be set for one of the top contracts in the entirety of the peloton. “He has received a huge offer beyond all expectations," the anonymous boss believes. "Probably getting close to Pogačar."
Roglic's Slovenian compatriot, Tadej Pogacar is currently the highest-paid rider, earning a reported salary of over €6.3 million per year and if Roglic is indeed anywhere near those kinds of numbers it would mark a massive pay increase.
The team boss further explains that Roglic's new contract with his as-yet-unknown new employers will be a three-year deal worth over €6 million per season.
But which team could offer that kind of money to Roglic? The likes of the INEOS Grenadiers, Israel - Premier Tech, BORA - hansgrohe, Lidl-Trek, Bahrain - Victorious, Movistar Team and Team Jayco AlUla have all been linked with the Giro d'Italia winner. We will soon find out who has won the race!

- Jonas is a very solid descender. Remember him waiting for Pog when Pog crashed on a descent in 2022mobk05-05-2025
- For Pogi's first win against Jonas, he had a very subpar team relative to Jumbo. I don't think Jonas would have stood a chance if he had Pogi's team that year.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- He descended very well at the TdF last year after the first couple stages with technical descents.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- The funny thing about all of this is that Pogi can(that doesn't mean he definitely will) win the TdF while it's only one of many goals. Jonas is fully focused on the TdF. Yes, he does other races but they're solely in preparation for the TdF. Jonas is great, but much of the reason he has a fighters chance is that Pogi isn't a rider that's fully focused on stage races.Veganpotter05-05-2025
- Yates- when he is on - is pretty awesome to watch.
ScottG05-05-2025 - Jonas is afraid of crashing. That's not easy to shake. I think that fear has only gotten worse over the years.ScottG05-05-2025
- Healy will also be a contender in the hilly classics. That's it though.ScottG05-05-2025
- It remains a team sport, and either teams or injuries have determined the outcomes since 2022. In '22, UAE lost many team members due to covid, earlier than Jumbo Visma did, and that left Pogacar unprotected. In '23, Pogacar was injured at Liege, and that affected his training. In '24, Vingegaard was injured, Kuss and van Aert were a shadow of their '22 selves, and Roglic was gone from the team. So the question is, can Yates, Almeida, Novak, and the rest protect Pogacar, and will Kuss and the rest show up as they need to? Sure, it's the last climb that pits the two superstars against each other, and Pogacar (as we've seen with van der Poel) doesn't always win when he's got a challenger there. This year, if Vingegaard's concussion hasn't affected things too much, I think it will come down to the teams they bring.RidesHills05-05-2025
- I wonder if they meant "uphill sprinting like Roglic is known for." Probably not, but maybe?RidesHills05-05-2025
- Yates-Ayuso cage match? Could be interesting.mobk05-05-2025
ISN is the retirement home for oldies with multi million dollar contract. But he will be worth the money
So with this offer I would say it is Saudi money. And there either Movistar or Jayco could fit the bill.
I assume Movistar could be Saudi telecom next year, that explains also why we heard so little about rhe team of next year
I'm guessing that it's Ineos.
