The team won the last Grand Tour of the 2024 season, setting the benchmark for 2025 with Primož Roglič celebrating his comeback at the Giro d’Italia.
Primož Roglič will return to the Giro d‘Italia for the first time since he won it in 2023. Roglič has a strong history with the event, having made his Grand Tour debut there in 2016. He placed second overall just 12 months later in his second attempt. The popular Slovenian will prepare for the 2025 edition by racing both the Volta ao Algarve in February and the Volta a Catalunya in March.
Jai Hindley, the 2022 winner, and Dani Martínez, the 2024 runner-up, also have the Giro in their plans. Hindley will use the Tirreno-Adriatico to prepare for it, while Martínez will race Paris-Nice.
Following his appearance at the Giro, Roglič will also attempt the Tour de France. He will race alongside Aleksandr Vlasov and Dani Martínez. For the Vuelta a España, the team plans to have two leaders: Jai Hindley and Aleksandr Vlasov will race together in the race that Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe won this year.
Primož Roglič: “The Giro always feels a bit special for us as Slovenians as it’s the closest one. Sometimes it has stages nearby or even in Slovenia… From that point of view, it’s beautiful. A lot of Slovenian people and support! Together with the team, we found a way to go forward for next year, it was an easy decision.”
Ralph Denk: “In the long term, we want to establish ourselves as the most attractive brand in cycling. In addition to the Grand Tours, there are many highlights on the calendar that we can influence with our style. These include the week-long tours, where our GC talents can take responsibility and make the next step. Or the one-day races, for which we have specifically strengthened our team with new riders and on which we are also focusing.”
For the first time, Specialized will be the race apparel partner of a team on the men’s UCI WorldTour. From 2025 onward, Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe will be fully decked out in Specialized gear, from helmets to shoes.
