IMO it is not a bad climb for Rogla at all, but if i have to pick two stages that suit him the most for me are the Mountain TT (ideal fresh 25-30 min effort) and the Ventoux one, not the perfect climb but the stage profile is good for him.

He looked good in the first passage but again without any punch in the last climb, it´s like he is forbidden to go over 500w, I suppose it´s just bad legs but is weird.

Despite today's performance, I still think he'll be better than most of the riders currently ahead of him in the GC in the time trial and the mountains, a bit like Simon Yates or Derek Gee in the Giro, but who knows, maybe it's just copium. The only good thing is that now the German fans can't...

He was even worse in stage 2 last year, no punch, 0 risk taken and very undercooked in general, but he was a bit better in Stage 4, much better in TT and close to his best in Stage 11. I expect a similar thing this year, but we will see…

I hope Bora fans, and German fans in general, don't jump on the bandwagon if, for whatever reason, Roglic survives the first week and proves he has podium legs (I think the latter is quite likely if the former happens), because in general in every social platform, you tend to show little...

Jasch is a good name but If they want a german (not expensive) rider they should go after Anton Schiffer, he was amazing yesterday and is climbling great this year. By the way, they have never been interested in Miguel Heidemann for the donkey work, flat and TTs? In my opinion, they've had...

I understand it's a strange lineup, but I don't know why so many cycling fans see the team as having abandoned all intentions in the GC and going to prepare a super train for the sprints and going stage-hunting in general. It's quite obvious that what they're looking for is to maximize...

To be fair Pithie had several mechanicals and crashes in crucial moments of MSR, E3, DDV and PR , yes, all of them except de Ronde (he was in first big group) and GW (working hard for Meeus trying to follow Pedersen and others moves) but before all that incidents he looked not superb but in...

My team would be: Roglic, Lipo, Vlasov/DFM, Van Gils, Adrià, Fisher-Black, Pithie, Van Poppel. Between Vlasov and DFM, I'd choose the one who's in the least bad shape right now. Also, if Sobrero does something in the rest of Switzerland, he's a possibility instead of Fisher-Black. I assume...

Apparently Finn fell yesterday and hurt his hip a bit. It's amazing that he was able to perform like that, and let's hope he doesn't have any after-effects.

Current Roglic would destroy the Roglic who was second in the Tour, in terms of watts there is no doubt about it, all his best performances are from 2024 and 2023 right now (and he can surely improve on them in 2025). It is another matter if we speak in relative terms, although the best Primoz...

In any case, I don't like the way things are going after Roglic's retirement from the Giro and Lipowitz's rise in level. Last year, I saw a certain German sector promoting Lipo more than necessary and a certain sector of Roglic's fans criticizing him too much during the Vuelta. Now, even more...

Yes, it doesn't make sense to think that Roglic couldn't have clearly beaten Lipo's time yesterday. He's coming off a near-beating of Tarling in a flat time trial at The Giro. Furthermore, last year he clearly beat a great Jorgenson in the Dauphiné and Tour de France time trials. His losses to...

Lipo will be the first human in this bike race (third).

Bernal from 2017 and 2018 had quite a jump, it´s just coming from a team with no specific training an no good material to a WT team, I don´t see nothing strange, Giulio is now decent but never will be close to a specialist. Moreover I think that in last year Giro he wasn´t even trying. Del Toro...
