The Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France are officially Primoz Roglic’s top goals for the important 2025 season.

These people are Primoz Roglic, Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, and Remco Evenepoel. On paper, all four of the so-called “big 4” Grand Tour favorites can race in the Giro d’Italia. We no longer have to wonder if anyone will, though. There is no doubt that Primoz Roglic will try to win the Giro. He will then race in the Tour right after!

There is big news coming out of the Red Bull, Bora, and Hansgrohe camp this Saturday. The managers and riders are going to talk to the media about their plans and goals for the 2025 season. In an interview with a group of reporters, as reported by In de Leidertrui, team boss Ralph Denk did not hide anything about the Slovenian’s schedule for the next season:

“The answer was pretty simple. He usually ends in the Vuelta, so I think it’s best for me to start with the first Grand Tour of the year, with a stop in Slovenia on the Giro. It was also easy to choose the Tour.

Not long, but straight to the point. Primoz Roglic, who won the Tour in 2023, will return to the Corsa Rosa after realizing that it will be very hard to win with competitors like Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard. He had said that he might try to set up a schedule that would allow him to race against his fellow countryman, and it was widely thought that he would start the Giro in Albania next spring.

At the same time, Denk confirmed that Roglic would then race in the Tour de France, following the same plan as Pogacar this spring. This shows that you can race both at the highest level in modern cycling. The Tour is the only Grand Tour that the 35-year-old still needs to win, and it is still a very big goal of his to do so one day.

Roglic was in the running for the podium at the Tour this year until he crashed and had to drop out for the third time in a row. The next week, he got back on track and won the Vuelta a España. It was his first Grand Tour since joining the German team, and it was also one of his best climbing efforts.

“Our attention is on the three most important races, and we’re sure we can do well.” After talking with the riders, this program was made, Denk said. Today, we should get more information from the team.
