"Saint Piran is the team for you!" - British continental team makes offer for Primoz Roglic
CyclingMonday, 02 October 2023 at 16:52
A marketing strategy that has been used in recent years by other small teams, but nevertheless an effective one. British continental team Saint Piran has released a statement calling for the attention of Primoz Roglic as he is set to move out of Jumbo-Visma
"We all go through periods of change in our lives, when we have to make decisions. We feel for you. So let us make your life a little easier. Saint Piran is the team for you!" the team shared in a messag. "You obviously have an eye for a kit, was yellow and black, now maybe green and black or reddy, bluey black (never quite sure) . What about black - just simple black, it’s a cracking kit, no loud logos or garish colours. Imagine your holidays, Cornish beaches, as much Tribute and Rattler as you can drink and saffron buns. We are immensely proud of our team, and with Jack off to EF-Easypost, we have a spot for you! Ride a road to net zero, join our mental health programme and maybe, doing things differently will work out. C’mon you know it makes sense!"
Throughout the winter Team Medellín-EPM famously made an offer to Nairo Quintana following his demise from the World Tour outfit Arkéa Samsic. That is one of a few examples of teams trying out their luck trying to take advantage of difficult situations at the top of the cycling world. In this case, the British team look to capitalize on the very big tremors that Roglic and the possible merger of Jumbo-Visma with Soudal - Quick-Step are causing in the peloton.
Roglic has officially confirmed that he would be leaving the Dutch team at the start of the Giro dell'Emilia. It is not known where he is heading, but it is believes that BORA - hansgrohe and INEOS Grenadiers lead the way in a transfer that would likely be a headline for the winter and make the Slovenian also close to the best payed rider in the peloton.

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Ok, happy I’m not too interested in this team coz’ the account of what happened is really hard to follow.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024
