Cyclisme / Transfert 2023 - Ralph Denk : "Eight years ago, Primoz Roglic almost joined us as a neo-pro, now he comes to us as a pro"

BORA-Hansgrohe has signed Primož Roglič from the coming season onwards. With the Grand Tour and Monument winner, one of the world's best riders has committed to the German UCI WorldTeam. The Slovenian has also demonstrated his impressive quality this season, finishing four of the five stage races which he started with an overall victory.Ralph Denk, Team Manager BORA - hansgrohe: “As a cyclist and Team Manager, patience is required. It is not always the first attack that leads to success. Eight years ago, Primož almost joined us as a neo-pro. Now he comes to us as a pro with a long list of victories that very few others have achieved.""For us, the decisive factor was not what has been achieved, but what lies ahead. Together we want to leave our mark on the big races. Primož appreciates the strength of our squad and knows the great potential of his future teammates. I am convinced that his personality will inspire the entire team, because he is a leader with the will to win, and is also a team player at the same time. Most of all, however, he really loves what he does and for me, that is the key to success."Primož Roglič: "I am looking forward to this step, even though a team change is kind of like new territory for me. The good memories of when we met years ago made the talks easy. But the decisive factor was that the team is really motivated to work with me, and that we hold the same ideas."Images : @BORAhansgrohe
