"I want to say a beautiful goodbye" - Primoz Roglic puts on a bib for the final time with Primoz Roglic
CyclingSaturday, 07 October 2023 at 12:31
Today is the day. Yesterday Primoz Roglic was confirmed to be joining BORA - hansgrohe for the coming season and today he races for Jumbo-Visma for the final time. However, he has the opportunity to end his time with the Dutch team on a high.
“We have experienced so many great moments and built so many memories during all these years. This is my last challenge with Jumbo-Visma, I want to say a beautiful goodbye," the Slovenian said at the start line in Como this morning. Roglic is ending his time with Jumbo-Visma on good terms, after joining the team and having a very successful career since 2016.
Roglic wants to hunt a Tour de France win and most likely that would not be very likely with the Dutch team, having Jonas Vingegaard on the helm. However the Vuelta a Espana was most likely the trigger point, as the last few days of racing saw Roglic keeping himself conservative as the team decided to conserve the lead and overall win of Sepp Kuss.
Today however Roglic races Il Lombardia. He has won the 2020 Liège-Bastogne-Liège and taking into consideration his recent form, it is possible to assume that the Slovenian could be riding into his second monument win.

- 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

ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
- Genetics? No, mostly PEDS. Armstrong proved that.Sweep18-12-2024
