Primož Roglič
Primož Roglič (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈpɾiːmɔʃ ˈɾɔːɡlitʃ] ⓘ; born 29 October 1989) is a Slovenian professional racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe. A former ski jumper, Roglič switched to cycling after an accident suffered at Planica. Despite becoming a professional at the relatively late age of 23, Roglič has since become one of the most successful cyclists of his generation, with many notable wins in time trials, one-week stage races, and Grand Tours.
Roglič has won five Grand Tours, including the Vuelta a España a record-tying four times (2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024), and the Giro d'Italia in 2023. He was the first Slovenian to win either race. Roglič has also finished second overall at the 2020 Tour de France, becoming the first Slovenian to wear the yellow jersey before losing out to compatriot Tadej Pogačar.
In 2020, when Roglič won the cycling monument Liège–Bastogne–Liège in addition to his Grand Tour success, he won the Vélo d'Or, which is awarded to the most successful cyclist of the racing season. In 2021, he won an Olympic gold medal in the men's individual time trial, Slovenia's first cycling medal.
Between 2019 and 2021, Roglič held the No. 1 ranking in the UCI Men's road racing world ranking for 75 weeks (a former record) and has twice finished as the year-end No. 1.
Born in Trbovlje, Slovenia, Roglič pursued ski jumping from the age of 10, practicing at a local jump in Zagorje ob Savi, 3 km from his childhood home. In 2003, at age 13, Roglič participated in his first FIS competition in Villach, Austria.
In 2006, Roglič earned a place on the Slovenian team for the 2006 FIS Nordic Junior World Ski Championships, where they won silver. The next year, competing in Planica, Slovenia, Roglič won gold in the team event.
In 2007, Roglič suffered a crash as a test jumper during official training in front of his home crowd at Letalnica bratov Gorišek, the ski flying hill in Planica, Slovenia. Despite being airlifted to the hospital, Roglič was not significantly injured and continued to compete. Roglič would continue to compete until early 2011, but his progression as a ski jumper had largely stalled, and he did not achieve any other major victories and was not selected to the Olympic team. Roglič finished his career with a personal best of 185 metres (607 feet), set in Planica, and two Continental Cup victories, the second-highest level of international ski jumping.
I felt it was time for a change. I liked cycling and thought, 'Why not? I will try to become professional.'
