For the first time since 2018, Primoz Roglic could ignore The Return ! Indeed, according to the latest rumors, notably reported by our colleague Daniel Bensonthe Slovenian of Red Bull-BORA-hansgroghe could focus on the double Tour of Italy – Tour de France in 2025. If the major objective of Roglic obviously remains to win the Tour de France – he who has not finished the race since 2020, where he finished 2nd – he could therefore lean towards the Giro before that.

A wise choice?
Already winner of the Pink Race in 2023, Roglic would therefore like to hang a second Endless Trophy on his record. This choice of calendar would allow him to arrive on the Tour with less pressure, but also to avoid a probable confrontation with Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike) both on the Tour and on The Return. Since the World Champion and the Dane seem to be heading towards that. On the other hand, this would force Roglic to put aside (for the moment) the record of victories on The Returnwhich he co-owns with Roberto Herraswith 4 successes.
