Roglic will take on Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France

The Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team unveiled its plans and ambitions for the 2025 season at the December training camp in Mallorca. The central target, of course, is the Grand Tours, with the Slovenian winner of the pink jersey in 2023 as the 'iconic man' at the start of the first two of the season.

After sealing 2024 with his fourth career victory in the Vuelta a España, in which he won the duel with Ben O'Connor, beating him in the final classification by 2'36'' (while team-mate Florian Lipowitz secured a top-10 finish), the 35-year-old from Trbovlje now wants to add to his prize list a second victory at the Giro d'Italia and his first title at the Grande Boucle, in which he has three stage victories to his credit.
 
The Slovenian champion will compete in the Volta ao Algarve in February and the Volta a Catalunya in March. Then he will arrive in Italy ready to tackle three demanding weeks from Durres, Albania, to Rome, the capital of the Bel Paese, which already crowned him king two years ago, before the domination of compatriot and current world champion Tadej Pogacar.
 
For the captain of the Red Bull - BORA - Hansgrohe team, the Giro d'Italia is a special event: "For us Slovenians, the Giro is unique," he said, "because it is the closest big stage race to us and often even crosses into Slovenia, as will happen this year on stage 14, which will pass through Nova Gorica. It is great to race the Giro because there are a lot of Slovenian people in the crowd. For me and the team, putting it on the calendar as the first big goal of the year was an easy decision."

Roglic was the first of the big names in international cycling to say yes to the pink race. If he can find himself in the leader's jersey again, he will be the first to win the pink race after age 35. He will have to contend with the classification men who have already signed up - Juan Ayuso and Adam Yates, Richard Caparaz, Mikel Landa, Romain Bardet, David Gaudu and Egan Bernal. Don't forget the debut of a 'total' rider like Wout van Aert. At the same time, Italy awaits the flashes of Giulio Ciccone and the confirmation of Antonio Tiberi, 2024's fifth and best young rider.

Roglic will be able to count on a team of the highest level, with team-mates who have already experienced the thrill of standing on the final podium. At his side, he will have Jai Hindley, winner of the pink jersey in 2022, and Dani Martínez, runner-up in 2024. The Australian will use the Tirreno-Adriatico to prepare himself, while the Colombian will race the 2025 edition of Paris-Nice to reach his best condition.
