Primoz Roglic has a chance to redeem himself for miserable Paris-Nice at Itzulia Basque Country, leading stacked BORA - hansgrohe lineup

Itzulia Basque Country will be a spectacle and a first chance to see all four Tour de France favourites in one place. And neither of them seems to be taking the Spanish WorldTour race lightly. BORA - hansgrohe bring a real armada for Primoz Roglic.
The German team's backup leader will be third man of recent Tirreno-Adriatico, the 2022 Giro d'Italia winner Jai Hindley. Another excellent climber in the selection is German champion Emanuel Buchmann (4th at the 2019 Tour de France).
Still, the biggest mystery that remains to be solved surrounds Roglic's form. It's been a rare sight at Paris-Nice to see the Slovenian struggle to hold up against the best and take a rather modest role instead. For Roglic, the tenth place overall is his worst result in any completed stage race since 2021 Paris-Nice, where he still managed to grab three stage wins along the way.
BORA - hansgrohe lineup for Itzulia Basque Country:
Primoz Roglic, Roger Adrià, Emanuel Buchmann, Jai Hindley, Bob Jungels, Max Schachmann and Matteo Sobrero

- I think it’s pretty weird under the circumstances and won’t be surprised if one day we discover some unmentioned detail that triggered this. In the meantime, hope he finds himself elsewhere.Mistermaumau08-05-2025

- Er, building up a 20 second gap in less than a km against the best is not exactly nothing, must have been at least 10% faster. Peletons also reel in breakaways but if they don’t manage BEFORE the end the reeling in doesn’t really mean much does it. She did exactly the right think, destroyed the others’ chances of catching her with a massive attack.Mistermaumau08-05-2025
- Demi must be so happy to now be on a team that works for her, and not against her. I think that if she and the team get their tactics dialed in, she could prove to be unstoppable this year.
