Matteo Sobrero on new teammate Primoz Roglic: "It is the biggest transfer of the year. I'm really looking forward to racing with him"

BORA - hansgrohe has signed several big figures into the 2024 season but most notably Primoz Roglic. Fellow signing Matteo Sobrero takes motivation from that and considers it the transfers of the year - as many do.
“It is the biggest transfer of the year. I'm really looking forward to racing with him, to see what that's like. And why not get some great results with him and the team?” Sobrero told Wielerflits. The Italian has spent two years with Team Jayco AlUla and further developed his skills as a rouleur and time-trialist. He's now going to be an important figure for the German team in search of more success and also as a possible quality domestique.
The 26-year old was close on three occasions to winning at this year's Itzulia Basque Country where he impressed. He did win at the Tour of Austria later in the year and had his freedom, but looked for a new challenge and BORA had the interest in signing a quality rider such as him.
He will hunt stage results for himself in the first half of the season but is quite open to becoming a domestique for the many Grand Tour specialists that the German team has. “I hope to at least start with a good spring, including the Ardennes classics, and achieve some results for myself there. Then will follow the Grand Tours, where I will help the classification guys," he concludes.

- 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
