Primoz Roglic reportedly extends contract with Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe
Cycling
Primoz Roglic appears set to continue his tenure with Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe beyond his initial contract, with reports from respected cycling journalist Daniel Benson indicating that the Slovenian has extended his deal through the 2026 season.
Roglic, who made the high-profile switch to the German-Austrian squad for the 2024 season after departing Jumbo-Visma, experienced a mixed debut year with his new team. He showed his class with a (mostly) dominant victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné in June, reinforcing his reputation as one of the sport’s most consistent stage racers.
However, his long standing misfortune at the Tour de France struck once again, as he crashed out while battling for the yellow jersey. Even with a new team, it seems that Roglic is still cursed at the Tour.
True to his unbreakable nature, Roglic bounced back in style later in the season, securing a historic fourth Vuelta a Espana title in September, matching the all-time record for victories in the Spanish Grand Tour.
Looking ahead to 2025, Roglic is set to challenge himself with the demanding Giro-Tour double. He last won the Giro d’Italia in 2023, and his return to the race signals his intent to add another Grand Tour to his already illustrious palmarès.
Despite widespread reports that his initial contract with Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe was a two-year deal, Benson’s latest update suggests Roglic will remain with the team for a third year. It remains unclear whether this extension was a pre-existing clause in his original contract or if the 35-year-old has actively committed to an additional year.
Securing Roglic’s services through 2026 is a significant boost for the team, reaffirming their ambition to become more and more competitive at the very highest level of Grand Tour racing.
Alongside Roglic’s contract extension, Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe has also secured the future of rising German talent Florian Lipowitz. The 23-year-old made waves in 2024 with a breakout performance at the Tour de Romandie and recently underlined his potential by finishing second at Paris-Nice.

- Oh my goodness. This is scandalous. Isaac del Toro, you're damaging the image of the sport. Yellow card, please! That'll teach him that manners maketh man. Seriously, I'm surprised that there is such a rule and again it is not consistently enforced. I never heard such ruling handed to Tadej in 2022 TdF when he crossed the line without zipping his jersey having been utterly defeated.
