No Way: Lora has cycled across nearly all mountain passes that professional cyclists tackle in the Tour de France.


Lora Klinc is best known to the general public as the life partner of Primož Roglič, usually captured on TV screens waiting on him with their young son in the finishing areas of the cycling races. But many Slovenians will remember her columns published in the magazine Polet, and some even her own sport path as a biathlete. 

She has always loved the books and even as a young child she was an avid writer, but somehow she decided to study political sciences and has earned a master's degree in European Studies. During her studies she lived in Bergen, and probably she would still lived abroad today even if it wasn't for Primož, pursuing career in diplomatic relations. Love does work in mysterious ways, so when Primož decided he would give it a go as a professional cyclist, she swapped the cold Norwegian air for hot, all-year lasting summers in Majorca. While he rose to fame in the cycling world, she found herself under the spotlight as a writer, and her debut novel, Kilometer Zero, is just the first of many.

The young family lives in Monaco, and Lora takes every spare moment she can find (which with a young child is never easy) to gather ideas and scribble pages for her second book. That is, of course, when she is not following the races in their camper. But even then, she writes.
