The key race in any rider's season, the Tour de France holds extra weight of importance for Primoz Roglic in 2024. Having joined BORA - hansgrohe in order to get his chance at the Maillot Jaune, the Slovenian's moment is nigh.

"It's a very special day. The arrival of Red Bull in cycling is really big. We have so much potential for the future," said team boss Ralph Denk in quotes collected by Sportschau.de, about the added investment of Red Bull. "We have a clear plan to become the most attractive brand in cycling."
