“Blaze your own trail” – 34-Year-Old Slovenian Pro Cyclist from Bora-Hansgrohe Warms Fans’ Hearts with Return to His Roots in France

Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic returns to the snowy mountains in France and shares a picturesque photo on Instagram. The cyclist is enjoying a break after what was a grueling 2023 cycling season.

It was a return to old roads for Roglic, who was a pro ski jumper from 2007 to 2011. He decided to make a career shift after realizing his body’s condition. The Slovenian was a master at skiing and competed at the international level for four years. The photo he uploaded garnered a lot of buzzes, with 15k likes in less than 24 hours.

From cyclist to skiing: Primoz continues to excel

Roglic completed his last season with Jumbo-Visma in 2023. The Slovenian will now complete as a Bora-Hansgrohe cyclist. Despite having a contract with Visma till 2025, the opportunity to compete as team leader in the Tour de France 2024 was too appealing.

It is the only title evading the maestro, and this spells a new quest for glory. The cycling superstar shared a photo on Instagram of him amidst the beautiful white canvas of nature. A champion ski jumper in the 2000s, it was a homecoming of sorts for the hero of the Swiss Alps.

He had his arms aloft in celebration after making it to the top of the mountain. A beautiful moment of triumph amidst the picturesque Tignes mountains captured!
