While the Wels Felbermayr racing team led by former Austrian Tour winner Riccardo Zoidl recently had to give up financially, the highly successful Steyr team Hrinkow Advarics has long been planning for the coming cycling season. After “homegrown” Valentin Poschacher from the Hrinkow Youth Academy received a professional contract for the first time a month ago, two top riders have now announced their commitment to the Steyr Continental team: Jaka Primozic, two-time overall winner of the Cycling Bundesliga, is also joining the team for another season green Hrinkow jersey like Maximilian Kabas, who has been driving for Steyr since this season.
Primozic was by far the most consistent driver this season and recently led his friend, superstar Tadej Pogacar, to the European Championship title. The 25-year-old Slovenian has been driving for Hrinkow since 2022. “Here I have a lot of freedom and a strong team behind me. It’s fun to fight for victories with them,” says Primozic.
