Roglič attracts interest from Bahrain Victorious
Recent news around Primož Roglič has confirmed his departure from Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe at the close of 2026, as well as his interest in continuing for another year at least, with hopes of returning to the Tour with a new team.
The latest is that Bahrain Victorious is angling for the 36-year-old's signature, which makes sense for a couple of reasons: 1) the team's GM is the Slovenian Milan Eržen, and 2) while Antonio Tiberi and possibly Afonso Eulálio are in a process of development, Bahrain Victorious does not currently have a fully-fledged GC leader.
So Roglič, the five-time Grand Tour winner who is set to chase a fifth Vuelta a España victory later this summer, could fill the gap for a year or so, while also helping to develop the youngsters on the team, i.e. stepping into the role vacated by retiring Damiano Caruso.
