The new contract for the Slovenian driver is valid until the end of 2025.
“We are very happy that after Sagan’s departure, a real star has joined us, which is another milestone in the life of the team.” – Tell Ralph Dinkthe Bora-Hansgrohe boss.
“As a cyclist and a team manager, you need patience. The first attack is not always successful. “Eight years ago, rookie Primo was on the verge of joining us, and now he comes into the team as a competitor with a track record that few can match.”
| Roglic has already left Jumbo-Visma after eight impressive years, winning the Giro and three Vueltas as a member of the Dutch squad and a total of 74 professional victories. |
“I am convinced that Primoz’s personality will inspire the entire team, because he is a true leader who wants to win in all circumstances. He has a winning mentality, but at the same time he is a team player.”Dink said.
“Most of all, he really loves what he does, and for me that is the key to success. With him, we will have the opportunity to really leave our mark in major competitions. Primo knows that he has joined a good line and is fully aware of the potential of his teammates in the future.”
In 2023, including jerseys and team time trials, he will have a total of 20 victories, nearly eighty during his career. He has scored 74 of them as a jumbo driver.
“However, changing the team is completely new for me, but I’m still really looking forward to working together. We met years ago, and although we couldn’t come to an agreement, we parted in good mood. The deciding factor now is that we think very similarly in this sport, and they particularly insisted on me.”– Tell RoglicWho signed a two-year contract with Bora.

“We have not received any inquiries. As I said before, Roglic is ours and that has not changed. With the exception of the Vuelta, he has won every event he has started for several days. Why should we think about letting him go?He said a month ago Richard PlugJumbo head.
Of course, it is not officially known how much Roglic’s salary will be, but if we want to believe the information of the Dutch press, instead of the current three million, he can earn 5.5 million euros in his new team starting next season.
