What a bunch of doomers. He came to Tour not prepared at all to actually finish it. And after hard stages and heavy climbing stage he's 7th. Not counting 2 aliens, he's 5th best GC guy. At 36, when all others are a lot younger. He's riding with a smile too. That is fantastic.

It's actually refreshing someone else hit the deck and people are going bonkers who's fault it was and who should wait who and Rog is just chilling in the bus.

Another third place means little to Remco. So he might try to fight both mutants at some point.

Remco tries to fight Pog and Vinge, explodes, ships minutes.

Pog and Vinge are in their own world. But then.... I think everything is open. Remco looks good and has a nice advantage. But there are many mountains left and Rog is not dead yet.

I think Roglič is saying goodby to TdF. This is probably his last. He's riding it on his own terms, enjoying it, posts about great crowds, etc. He wants to finish it and make peace with it.

Visma rode this TdF like they are Classics specialists against UAE hillybillies. I guess they forgot UAEs best guy is one of best Classics riders in the world.

He wants to get to Paris. He said that, yet everybody question it. He'll do his best but not going 100% until mountains because of risk of injury. So this is now Roglič at 95% and not in good form. He'll get better until the last week and if he doesn't fall je might fight for top 5. Might. Good...

So now UAE just dictates jersey among each other because why not. I hate this team.

You shouldn't focus on random forum guys opinions so much but rather on cyclists words and actions.

It's a good mindset. You can't win if you don't start. You can't win if you don't finish. If you start and finish...anything can happen, just do your best. I'm sure Rog will be a very happy man if he finishes this tour without a fall.

Man, what a "room" and so much people. For a washed up almost 40 year old guy who crashes a lot. It's pretty impressive.

He just doesn't want to talk to media. Period. That's why he gives short boring answers that don't go anywhere so "reporter" can't do a follow up question. If he answers he did check the stages, then he'll get the next question about stage nr. X or which one is hard, or similar BS. If he answers...

I think they designed these horrible colors just to put pressure on Rog to wear yellow.

It's not like Roglič needs a whole team to fight Pog and Vinge. They are in their own world. For the rest (third place) he must NOT crash so this team is powerful to lead him through first week/10 days. And later in the high mountains it's individual quality that counts. I still don't believe...
