“SOMETHING NEW” - Primož Roglič reflects on leaving Visma-Lease a Bike for Bora-Hansgrohe 🚴‍♂️

[@endyELITE]

Roglic leaving Visma makes the whole thing so much more interesting. Big Visma and Roglic fan over here! :-)

[@manfrommontreal]

Froglič is here 🐸

[@Jerraleon]

Side note: longer hair suits him way better! Curious to his season, bora's looking great

[@Ryan-wf6ib]

Greatest talent cycling has ever seen, just imagine if he grew up cycling like all of these kids.

[@bigtime3719]

He was the best on Vuelta 2023. He beat jonas in timetrial. And was forced to let the win to SK.

[@Jan-se1nd]

To ber fair, Jonas was coming off a stomach bug so he wasn't at full throttle at that ITT like he was later on in the Vuelt. Just for context.

[@kasperrieberg3495]

The second half of the Vuelta, Jonas was clearly stronger

[@robertofloresandrade1597]

That's gonna be the challenge for Primoz, have the team to compete against Jonas and Tadej. The tour it's going to be a battle!!

[@tommanos2596]

Sending positive energy to Primoz and the entire Bora team for success and big achievements in 2024.

[@WouterDieks]

Primoz had a great time with Jumbo Visma. I wish him Good luck on his new venture.

[@drewmartinezart]

Hoping all the contenders stay healthy and make it to the tour. It should be an exciting season.

[@LokeYL-t6g]

Happy to see him leave. He looks so happy being able to pursue his dreams without any strings attached. Viva Rogla!

[@Wheeatify]

He seems more open in interviews, his eyes and smile, like a load taking off his shoulders

[@lorismatha9414]

I've never heard him talk so much in an interview :D

[@Simon_is_not_sure]

I was asking myself the same thing, hows that possible? :)

[@kusalperera8839]

One of the greatest cyclists in cycling history who must win the tour in 2024

[@albertandersen-m4t]

Must win but wont win when Jonas is there

[@kusalperera8839]

@relaxwithbogo5579 Yes. Why not? He must have this title in his bag. For whatever reason he was unable to do it until 2024. Let see...

[@janinecarlos1718]

I am hoping that all 4 guys make it to the Tour. It will be epic if so.

[@imvictorvasquez]

Hurts to see him on a new team. Happy that he'll get a shot at the tour.

[@s3cr3td00rindar00m]

Man I love Roglic, what a racer he is. He changed so much from the shy contender when he raced against Nibali and Carapaz in the Giro.

[@claudemirpolezello8125]

Que ele seja feliz na sua nova equipe e realize seus objetivos Primoz. Para quem deixa um companheiro de equipe ganhar uma etapa é um verdadeiro campeão para mim um exemplo de atleta.

[@paulsolon6229]

He is great rider. He’s tough He’s determined He also has had bad luck. And he crashes. Let’s hope tour 2024 by all top riders for gc No crashes Not caught out in cross wind No big mechanicals So we see who’s best.

[@HeadPack]

His was a good move for pro cycling. The Tour will be epic.

[@S2Sturges]

Potentially could be one of the most intriguing Tours in years, I expect nothing less, with such challengers...

[@leonardo3399]

Roglic deserved better. Now, he’s happy with his new team.

[@mondociaociao]

I can't wait to watch Rogla in his new team! and of course, I hope he win easily!🤩🤩🤩

[@ozgurinsan]

go primoz.

[@savagepro9060]

he already left, 🤣😂

[@philipnelson79]

Would love to see Evenepoel, Pog, Roglic, Jonas, and Sepp all go full gas for a grand tour against each other. I'm glad Roglic left because it will make things even more spicy.

[@fixieebro]

Notice the "name" on his clothing? Bora is all in for Roglic!

[@SidewaysStewie]

And? Was he going to answer the last question? :P

[@ljslo....]

✌️♥️🇸🇮

[@smgyn]

Roglic is probably the nicest person. No hate on jumbo vizma but the team looks like the antagonists. Not that I'm saying their doing evil stuff but that's how I see them. I may be biased toward Pogacar because of this but who cares. Roglic seems to me like their humble guy that didn't want to be in the evil side. Hate me, I don't care.

[@HolgerDanske874]

Roglic was the most selfish rider on Visma. It was best for everyone he found a new team. He couldn't accept not being number 1, he didn't even want to support Kuss winning Vuelta.

[@silverblue2384]

It's just a difference in mentality, nothing good or bad about it. Visma puts an incredibly strong emphasis on team result over the captain's result. I.e. if someone lower in the hierarchy suddenly has better winning chances, the captain must ride for them. You could see that in the Vuelta, in the 2022 Tour and also in the way they approach the classics with 5 leaders instead of riding purely for Van Aert. Another example is Van Aert leading out Kooij in sprints, even though Van Aert could compete for the win himself there. On the other hand Roglic understandably wants to ride for himself and not be forced to put his own goals behind Vingegaard, Kuss or whoever. He has more than earned the right to be an outright captain and have a full team behind him no matter how the race goes. That just wasn't compatible with Visma's philosophy, but it is with Bora's. No one is right or wrong here, as Visma's approach seems to work well for Van Aert for example, who seems to not mind riding for other team mates in many races. Much to the annoyance of many of his fans, but it seems to suit his character.

All the best wishes Primoz & BH...GOOD LUCK with NEW TEAM!😘🍀🍀🍀

[@sarahsumner7068]

I think that "attack" on Sepp during the Vuelta wasn't about the GC and more about Roglic conquering the Angliru, it had previously bested him. It was mentally what he needed, but exploited by the press. He seemed genuinely pleased for Kuss to take the overall. He deserves to have a TDF on his palmaris and with Bora he will at least have the chance to fight it out a couple more times. Here's hoping this is the year. Rooting for you. Be safe though, nothing is worth your life.

[@stevenaaus]

Great intro, laugh. Go Primoz... But going to be super hard.

[@H0ruS193]

I think, he can win TDF this year, cause remco and jonas are injured and he is kinda ok with Tadej riding Giro, he will maybe be tired. Yeah i think Primož can win

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

Good luck.

[@wingtip76]

It was so good to see Jens again, he was such a powerful rider and I enjoyed watching him.

[@elviracatherinetalaoc2070]

This is a must win year for Primoz.

[@savagepro9060]

A drone bee strayed out of place, thanks to the enforced mercy of a 'King Bees'? That single 'gifted' slice of La Vuelta's honeycomb disrupted the Visma beehive . . . for ever!

[@danshort10]

From the outside, Primoz seems like such a good guy I’ve always rooted for him, but just not sure if the rest of the team is strong enough to hang with the visma and UAE

[@tomrees4812]

For all this ‘team sport’ guff as a fan I want to see the best riders go head to head.

[@marcvb3364]

It's good to see an interview with Primoz, but these standard boring questions are always the same, no interesting answer can come from it. They could really take a page out of LRs book.

[@HolgerDanske874]

Roglic is just boring in general. Always wheelsucking.

[@orangeorphan]

I don’t think we should except great athletes to express their experiences in a way that is satisfactory to us normal people. Especially when they’re not even speaking their native language. Let Roglic speak on the bike and be happy with that.

[@marcvb3364]

@@orangeorphan I'm not talking about what Roglic says, but about the questions asked. By professional journalists nontheless.

[@Jan-se1nd]

But the answers we really want can't be answered until the Tour. So we can either enjoy this kind of fluff until then or not watch it.

[@joehiatt1992]

Thing I hate is when they have the clock for them ,they just protect the lead,like to see them keep racing instead of just watching the clock,keep going to win a stage even though u have a 10 minute lead

[@spartianj]

GC leaders have been a lot more aggressive since the Roglic 2021 tdf misadventure. EDIT : 2020*
