Primož Roglič said in Bergamo on Friday that it is possible Il Lombardia will be the final race of his career. His Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe contract runs out, and the race on Saturday is likely his last with the team. Asked about it, he answered «I think also possible yeah, you know, why not?» The choice in front of him is real: a new team or no more racing.

The destination reports do not agree. Domestique Cycling reported on 3 October that Tudor Pro Cycling had emerged as the leading candidate, with no agreement. Five days later Daniel Benson reported via WielerFlits that Tudor had withdrawn, leaving Lotto-Intermarché and Pinarello-Q36.5, and that his agent said more information would follow after Il Lombardia. The entry list still shows Roglič under Tudor Pro Cycling Team, though that source is low confidence. In July, Marca reported he did not plan to end his career after 2026 and wanted the Tour de France in 2027. On Friday he said «I don't know yet» about his future. He also said that had he won a fifth Vuelta a España instead of finishing runner-up, he would have retired, and that he wants to finish on a high. He turns 37 later in October, and arrives on a solid run of form after a tough couple of seasons.
