No Il Lombardia for Primoz Roglic as Vuelta champion ends 2024 campaign
CyclingWednesday, 09 October 2024 at 14:30
Primoz Roglic had been expected to compete against the likes of compatriot Tadej Pogacar and rival Remco Evenepoel at the final monument of the season next weekend. After a somewhat disappointing preparation though, the Slovenian has called an early end to his season ahead of Il Lombardia.
"A long season comes to an end. Primoz and the performance team decided to draw a line under an exciting year and to start his off-season immediately," explains the official social media pages of Roglic's Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team. "Join us wishing him a good recovery and a wonderful off-season - well deserved Primoz!"
Although Roglic couldn't complete his main goal for the year, crashing out of the Tour de France, notable victories at the likes of the Critérium du Dauphiné and a record equalling 4th Red Jersey triumph at the Vuelta a Espana have ensured that Roglic's first campaign in the colours of Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe have been a successful one.

- Yes I did. You're an armchair cyclist whose a$$ never hits the saddle, if I hadn't broken my ankle in February I'd be over 5,000 miles for the year. You are weak in intellect, weak in words and weak in intent just like all of your pathetic, marxist, lunatic brethren, all you know is violence, it will lead you to where you belong soon enough.

- This was a mountain sprint, the first summit finish of many. If in the third week he is there and defeats other contenders, then only he will win. Too earlyabstractengineer17-05-2025
- Interesting to see whether del Toro eventually leapfrogs Ayuso in the UAE pecking order. Juan knows he needs to deliver this year or risk losing his ranking within the team.Renz17-05-2025
