Before that, there&#8217;ll be appearances at Itzulia Basque Country and the Tour de Romandie, both of which he&#8217;s won twice before.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;I&#8217;m not thinking about retirement yet&#8217; &#8211; Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d confirms he will miss Tour de France but is not done yet<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;The young guys are riding faster and faster year after year&#8217; \u2013 Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d says keeping pace with the next generation is more important than a result at Tirreno-Adriatico<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe&#8217;s new superstar flourishes, how are his co-leaders Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, Florian Lipowitz and Jai Hindley faring in the early season?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But from May to the start of the Vuelta on August 22, there&#8217;s a large gap in Rogli\u010d&#8217;s season schedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In an interview with Slovenian radio station <em>Vala 202<\/em> earlier this week, he seemed to confirm the plan.

Before that, there&#8217;ll be appearances at Itzulia Basque Country and the Tour de Romandie, both of which he&#8217;s won twice before.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;I&#8217;m not thinking about retirement yet&#8217; &#8211; Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d confirms he will miss Tour de France but is not done yet<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;The young guys are riding faster and faster year after year&#8217; \u2013 Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d says keeping pace with the next generation is more important than a result at Tirreno-Adriatico<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe&#8217;s new superstar flourishes, how are his co-leaders Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, Florian Lipowitz and Jai Hindley faring in the early season?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But from May to the start of the Vuelta on August 22, there&#8217;s a large gap in Rogli\u010d&#8217;s season schedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In an interview with Slovenian radio station <em>Vala 202<\/em> earlier this week, he seemed to confirm the plan.

The team had neo-pro Adrien Boichis on the attack solo in the final, while Giulio Pellizzari took fourth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"66b7a2ab-bb8e-470e-a433-62014104a2d1-2\">Rogli\u010d, 36, is in his third year with the team and will be targeting a fifth title at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a as the main goal of his season. Before that, there&#8217;ll be appearances at Itzulia Basque Country and the Tour de Romandie, both of which he&#8217;s won twice before.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/AnmeAXPBRm6hp3STDoRLTY-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;I&#8217;m not thinking about retirement yet&#8217; &#8211; Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d confirms he will miss Tour de France but is not done yet<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/om8mTM8iDviCUTDSgrqSvR-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">&#8216;The young guys are riding faster and faster year after year&#8217; \u2013 Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d says keeping pace with the next generation is more important than a result at Tirreno-Adriatico<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/iHm3d3RajkTebWvHqScH9D-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe&#8217;s new superstar flourishes, how are his co-leaders Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, Florian Lipowitz and Jai Hindley faring in the early season?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But from May to the start of the Vuelta on August 22, there&#8217;s a large gap in Rogli\u010d&#8217;s season schedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In an interview with Slovenian radio station <em>Vala 202<\/em> earlier this week, he seemed to confirm the plan.
