The sensational return of the Vulture? Visma already made contact with him.

Primož Roglič, a prominent Slovenian cyclist, has reportedly been in discussions with his former team Visma | Lease a Bike regarding a potential return. According to reports from the Dutch cycling portal WielerFlits, multiple sources have confirmed Visma’s interest in re-signing Roglič, who is nearly 37 years old. The talks have already taken place, but no formal agreement or contract has been signed yet. Roglič has not publicly announced whether he will continue his professional career, though he recently emphasized that the decision ultimately lies with him. His longtime agent, Mattia Galli, suggested that any decision should ideally be made within the next week or two, as teams are finalizing their rosters for the upcoming season. Visma currently has 29 cyclists under contract for the 2027 season, leaving only one spot open. Roglič previously left Visma after the 2023 season, during which he won three Vuelta and one Giro titles. He then joined BORA – hansgrohe, where he secured his fourth Spanish Tour victory in 2024. A return to Visma would raise questions about his role alongside Jonas Vingegaard, but the specifics of any potential offer remain unclear.

Again, more and more about Roglic: where will our cycling ace continue his journey?

Cycling reports indicate that Slovenian rider Primoz Roglic may return to his former team, Visma Lease a Bike, after leaving Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe. The Dutch team has reportedly contacted his agent, Matteo Gallia, regarding a potential contract. While other teams like Lotto-Intermarche and Pinarello-Q36.5 were previously linked to him, the move back to Visma faces unresolved issues regarding salary, contract length, and his role relative to teammates such as Jonas Vingegaard. Roglic originally joined Visma in 2016, where he achieved major victories including three Vuelta wins, the Giro d'Italia, and an Olympic time trial gold before departing in 2023 seeking greater autonomy. A return would likely see him serving primarily as a domestique in Grand Tours, similar to the career path taken by Simon Yates.
