Dolenjska is set to host the national road cycling championship this weekend, an event where Primož Roglič is scheduled to compete for the sixth time in six years. Beyond this upcoming competition, Roglič has several other professional considerations. His current team, Red Bicycles, has indicated they do not plan to extend his contract with the 36-year-old cyclist from Kiseljak, a team he joined at the beginning of the 2024 season.
Despite the looming uncertainty regarding his future with the team, Roglič remains focused on his immediate goals. He is aiming for his fifth overall victory in the Vuelta a España this year, a feat that would establish him as the most successful cyclist in the race’s history. This ambition follows his previous record, where he won the Vuelta in the opening season on his fourth attempt.
Furthermore, Roglič has secured multiple overall victories in his career, including wins in Catalonia and the Doñana with the German team. However, according to journalist Daniel Benson, after the end of this season, Roglič will need to pursue a new challenge. The combination of the potential contract expiration and the need for a new sporting direction suggests that while he aims for significant achievements now, a career transition is anticipated following the end of his current commitment.
