OFFICIAL: Primoz Roglic leads BORA to Catalunya, his final race before the Giro d'Italia
Cycling
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe have confirmed their lineup for the Volta a Catalunya and it includes Primoz Roglic who will take on the single most important test ahead of his return to the Giro d'Italia. The Slovenian will be one of the favourites to win the overall classification, even if the lineup is not the strongest.
The German team is missing many names like Jai Hindley, Aleksandr Vlasov, Florian Lipowitz or Daniel Martínez, but is instead focusing on it's Giro block. Primoz Roglic is the uncontested leader for this week with his three summit finishes to tackle in the Catalunyan region, and he will be supported in the mountains mostly by Giulio Pellizzari whom the team is hoping to see show his best level and become a key domestique for the mountainous terrain.
The rest of the team, besides the rouleur Nico Denz, is made of puncheurs, riders who will fare better in the hilly terrain but can handle themselves in the mountains. Without a doubt, Jan Tratnik will be a key maan and likely Roglic's most valuable domestique, but the team also has Giovanni Aleotti, Frederik Wandahl and Alexander Hajek.

- Liege or Amstel are a little different. Only he knows what really works for him. I'm a bit disappointed that he is not going to focus on any other races potentially until the Dauphine. If you don't have race days in the legs no matter how good you are it generally gives a negative result. I had argued that he knew what works for him the other day but he seems to have maybe a mental block or is still a bit gun shy from last year's crash, which to be honest, was pretty bad. He might be in his last season or two. I hope not because he can still do quite a bit of winning if he gets his head right.awp26-03-2025

- I think, sometimes, women's races are more interesting because of their unpredictability due to their silly mistakes. The most recent ones seem to always involve Demi Vollering against SD Worx. 11% is way too discriminative. Is there no guardrail in EU laws that prevent this sort of discrimination?
KerisVroom26-03-2025 - Good for him but not exactly the most competitive field, though better than what Froome would try ;-) Let’s wait and see if he can keep things up over time.Mistermaumau25-03-2025
