Primoz Roglic will join Bora–Hansgrohe from the next season, the German team announced on Friday, after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic time trial champion confirmed his departure from Jumbo–Visma last week. The 33-year-old Slovenian had been with Jumbo–Visma since 2016, winning three consecutive editions of the Vuelta a Espana as well as this year's Giro d'Italia.

"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," he said in a statement. "But the decisive factor was that the team is really motivated to work with me, and that we hold the same ideas."
