"I can definitely confirm that I will leave the team" - Primoz Roglic confirms imminent Jumbo-Visma departure
CyclingSaturday, 30 September 2023 at 11:48
Primoz Roglic leads the Jumbo-Visma team at the Giro dell'Emilia but pre-race the Slovenian was quizzed on the rumours regarding his future.
Speaking to Cycling Pro Net pre-race Roglic put to bed any speculation and confirmed he will indeed be leaving Jumbo-Visma in the coming days. "I can definitely confirm that I will leave the team," Roglic announces. "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."
If Roglic hopes for a farewell victory at the Giro dell'Emilia, he faces some stiff competition from an all star startlist including Tadej Pogacar, Enric Mas and many more.

- "become one of the peloton's top sprinters"? -- he's anything but a sprinter, and the admins would obviously know this. So much on this site feels increasingly like it's been written by AI (and then barely reviewed by a human afterwards).boodyb05-05-2025
- Ayuso couldn't work well with. Period, ahahaha. All depends on TT stages. If Ayuso take a lot of advantage over Adam, then he will be the leader, no problems inside the team BUT if Ayuso/Yates are tied... a lot of problems can emerge in the group.
maria2024202405-05-2025 - Pogacar in La VUelta? IMHO, no. Tadej is so in love with his Rainbow t-shirt. Most likely, after the Tour, he will rest and prepare very well the World Championship Race, as he does every year, then Almeida will have his opportunity in La Vuelta.maria2024202405-05-2025
- The main UAE goal is the 4th Tour de France, then Almeida have to work with Pogacar preparing the Tour. In addition, UAE has to make concessions to Ayuso. The young man is very talented and ... impatient: he wants big opportunities NOW or maybe he could leave UAE.maria2024202405-05-2025
- Tadej wasn’t in top form either in 2023mij05-05-2025
- What a simplistic analysis. Nobody knew in advance Almeida would finally have his streak. Nobody can know if this streak is perhaps also DUE to knowing he’s not on Giro duty. Nobody knows if with all his efforts so far this year, he’d have enough left for 3 weeks of Giro, - especially now that he’s “become a sprinter” :-) And finally, after all the success and effort and then trying to win the Giro, how much would he have left to be there for Tadej in the Tour. Trust me, between letting Almeida win a GT and improving Tadej’s chances of securing another Tour, you can bet UAE have their priorities. And that’s all without even considering if he’s maybe putting on a good show with the intent of increasing his negociation value come transfer time.Mistermaumau05-05-2025

- If you want good teamwork, don't group Ayuso with Pogacar or Almeida. Ayuso couldn't work well with these 2, especially Almeida.
KerisVroom05-05-2025 - You obviously want to arrange every story to suit your agenda. Your logic here is like claiming we don’t need police because you heard a story of an officer stopping a woman who’s lost her waters for document checking on her way to hospital. It was just a stupid person exploiting his powers, am sure he was not specifically instructed to do this at this event by management in Switzerland. It is far more likely he could have been given some ( maybe financial) incentive by someone to be difficult, cycling isn’t always as friendly a family as it tries to portray.Mistermaumau05-05-2025
- Oh boy, that discussion again. The car fad is what prevents the cycling industry from becoming more creative. NOBODY cares about efficient bike shapes, look at how many people know who did or what the records for HPVs are. Look at what the vast majority of citizens in cycling countries like the Netherlands ride. If normal people, or even amateur cyclists were so interested in efficient biking, they’d be investing in TT bikes or just hacking any bike with 50€ triathlon handlebars instead of wasting 1000s on pseudo marginal gain pro development knock offs. The UCI does wonders for the bike industry, it boomed over the last decade and when it’s not one type, it’s another. In fact, what’s the point of promoting efficient super designed bike shapes when we teach people to be lazy by plonking an e- onto any fashionable shape so they don’t have to pedal at all? And finally, even if the industry sleeps with the UCI when it’s of interest, is it really the UCI’s job to help the bike industry become more progressive, profitable, popular, whatever?Mistermaumau05-05-2025
Everyone knew that this was coming, but what people really want to know is where will he be going?
