Primož Roglič’s 2027 Future Uncertain: Retirement or a New Team?

One of the most successful riders in professional cycling, Primož Roglič, remains at the centre of speculation ahead of the 2027 season. The Slovenian rider is set to leave Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe at the end of the 2026 season. However, it is not yet clear whether he will continue his career with another team or bring his professional cycling journey to an end.

With five Grand Tour victories to his name, Roglič faces an important decision at this stage of his career. He could sign with a new team and continue competing at the highest level, or choose retirement.

The Visma-Lease a Bike Possibility Falls Through

Reports suggesting that Roglič could return to his former team, Visma-Lease a Bike, attracted attention in recent weeks. The Slovenian rider competed for the team between 2016 and 2023, achieving some of the biggest successes of his career.

However, reports published on October 29 indicated that discussions between the two sides had not produced a positive outcome. For now, a return to Visma appears unlikely.

Lotto-Intermarché was also reported to have made an offer to Roglič, but the Slovenian rider reportedly turned it down.

Which Teams Could Be Options for 2027?

Roglič has previously been linked with teams such as Tudor Pro Cycling and Pinarello-Q36.5. Unibet Rose Rockets has also been mentioned among the possible destinations.

However, there has been no official announcement confirming an agreement with any of these teams. It is important to distinguish transfer rumours from confirmed deals.

As teams continue shaping their rosters for the 2027 season, Roglič’s decision remains one of the most closely watched stories of the transfer period.

Retirement Is Still a Possibility

Roglič has previously acknowledged that retirement could be an option. Before Il Lombardia, he indicated that he had not yet made a final decision about his future.

At the same time, his performances during the 2026 season showed that he can still compete at a high level. Finishing second at the Vuelta a España and winning the European Time Trial Championships demonstrated that he remains highly competitive.

If Roglič decides to continue racing, another question will be what kind of role he takes on with his next team.

The Cycling World Awaits His Decision

Primož Roglič has yet to announce his plans for the 2027 season. If he signs with a new team, he will continue competing in the professional peloton. Otherwise, he could bring his remarkable career to an end.

With major victories and achievements throughout his career, the Slovenian star’s decision is set to become one of the most interesting stories ahead of the 2027 season.
