I don't rule him out yet for the Tour (at least until the team says he can't do the Tour), because 2 months and half is still a significant time. Let's see how he recover and how fast he can go to the turbo trainer.The Tour looks like an impossible dream which will come too early but there will be plenty of idle 'will he won't he' speculation in the meantime. The Vuelta could be a realistic target though and if he makes a full recovery he would be a big favourite to win it this year.
Best season ever if Rogla wins Le Tour. It'll bring joy to people all over the world.Imagine he doesn't make Le Tour, but can recover to appear at La Vuelta at full strength. Worst season in cycling history?

Maybe Roglic winning the Tour 2020, is the only way of having the return of @CyclistAbi 😕It may be Rogla's best chance since Tour 2020, If he's able to prepare optimally and avoid setbacks.

I hope nothing happened. I just noticed that he hasn't appeared on the forum for a while.What happened to them?
I know what happened, but I´ll likely get banned if I say it.What happened to them?
Sounds intriguing 🤨 not to encourage you to get banned, of course…I know what happened, but I´ll likely get banned if I say it.
Low hanging fruit, gonna have to do better than this.Best season ever if Rogla wins Le Tour. It'll bring joy to people all over the world.
Vingegaard's Tour wins are mostly attributed to his team, and Pogi's to himself. That's sort of what I was getting at. And that includes Jumbo's almost monk-like preparation on altitude. But that may not actually be the decisive factor.What's talent supposed to mean here? I mean, doesn't everyone agree that Vingegaard is the better long duration, high elevation climber, especially in hot weather, while Pogacar has a wider range of strengths, incuding explosivity?
MvdP has had a couple of those what you would call low hanging fruits this season and no one seems to mind that much. To the contrary, I’ve heard people proclaiming him top racer of his generation.Low hanging fruit, gonna have to do better than this.
I was actually referring to johnnymax level of instigating, but cool to see this got to you.MvdP has had a couple of those what you would call low hanging fruits this season and no one seems to mind that much. To the contrary, I’ve heard people proclaiming him top racer of his generation.
If Rogla wins, he will have beaten Pog, Remco and a bunch of other worthy opponents at the tender age of almost 35. He will have been the second oldest TdF winner ever and the oldest in the last 100 years. Low hanging fruit indeed 🤣
Keeping the closed poll, not changing the title of the thread, but instead making the thumbnail his hospital picture ...
You certainly had me fooled… well done!I was actually referring to johnnymax level of instigating, but cool to see this got to you.
My arch-nemesis but always friendly and very polite. He never loses composure.Sounds intriguing 🤨 not to encourage you to get banned, of course…
I mean I know he has a tendency to disappear for weeks if there’s nothing going on on the Rog front. So @Froome I wouldn’t worry too much, you’ll get your arch-nemesis back sooner or later…
It wouldn't me surprise that Visma does some bluff with Vingegaard until the Tour, if things work well for him.This will end up being a more captivating storyline than the entire Giro
