Brajkovic putting bad luck with Astana behind him at UnitedHealthcare
Cyclingnews, Laura Weislo, 11 December 2014
The biggest victory of Janez Brajkovic's career came at the 2010 Critérium du Dauphiné, where he won the overall ahead of Alberto Contador, but since then he has run up against bad luck and injuries and has not been able to capitalize on that promise. After spending three unsatisfying seasons on a fractured Astana squad, the Slovenian signed for 2015 with UnitedHealthcare. After only a few days with the American team in Asheville, North Carolina he already feels at home and more optimistic about the future.

Without contract, Brajkovic yearning for return to U.S. team
velonews, Andrew Hood, 15 Augustus 2014
BURGOS, Spain (VN) — It’s the time of the year when nerves start ratcheting up. By late August, there’s a growing anxiety within the peloton, at least for anyone without a secured contract for the upcoming season. Most deals are knotted up before the end of the Tour de France. One of those entering the uncertainty bubble is 30-year-old Janez Brajkovic (Astana). The skinny Slovenian told VeloNews he still does not have a contract for next season. “I have nothing,” he said. “Honestly, I have nothing so far, so we’ll see. I don’t know. It’s hard.”

Nel 2006 compie notevoli miglioramenti e le sue prestazioni fanno ben sperare per il futuro. Invece il 2007, dopo un promettente inizio, non ci ha restituito un Brajkovic all'altezza delle aspettative: un anno di transizione in attesa di un riscatto con la nuova maglia dell'Astana?
