Born in Jesenice, Kocjan represented Slovenia in the Men's road race at the 2010 UCI Road World Championships.[3] His first notable win came at the 2008 Vuelta a Cuba.[citation needed]
Kocjan joined Team SmartStop for the 2014 season, after his previous team – Euskaltel–Euskadi – folded at the end of the 2013 season.[2]
He signed for the Lupus Racing Team for 2016,[4] but following a retest in early 2016 of a sample from 2012 he was provisionally suspended by the UCI and fired by the team.[5] He was subsequently given a four year ban by the UCI,[6] with his ban expiring in January 2020.
