    Teams & Riders Team Visma - Lease a Bike

    Is the other way around, Zeeman was crearly very pro Vingegaard like Niermann, he was talking always wonders about him even before he started to show any results. Before that era, he was very pro Kruijswijk and very pro dutch in general with Groenewegen and the signing of Dumoulin. He acting...

    Lesser known races 2024 edition

    I was expecting a Koen Bouwman win today in a 20 man group, not in a "sprint a deux" taking as well the GC lead, Nice :cool:

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard: The Wizard of Visma

    In any case, as a Roglic follower, I'm not really seeing the problem with everything that's coming out these months, even if that's the intention. The fact that he always wants to win and does not let himself be trampled by collective thinking if it does him bad, for me leaves him in a very...

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Well, I do look for excuses, it is evident that he is either sick or has had symptoms of hypothermia for days (perhaps very little fat for this Paris Nice), it is not normal how bad he looked today

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Maybe in a few days I will eat my words, but I can't imagine Roglic going to PN after being on Teide without the intention of winning, that the preparation is focused on the Tour (like other years like 2021 and 2022 by the way) does not mean that he is not going to try to win everything...

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    We are acting as if Roglic were not a machine of producing great numbers in training, when precisely that has always been one of his great strengths, I highly doubt that in the majority of tests Vingegaard is clearly superior or simply superior, the Dane's greatest advantage It is in the...

    Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2024 , February 9-14

    He was super strong in the Muscat Classic and today was a positive surprise , maybe he can do already something strong in OHN and Kuurne.

    Murcia - Almeria - Jaen (February 10th, 11th & 12th)

    Yeah that was reason number 1, number 2 was headwind finish, not ideal to be the one opening the sprint, Moschetti had the perfect spot.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Well, Roglic and Kuss were 50 second behind due to the crash and standstill in Stage 9 and Roglic managed to bridge to Valverde at the end, he also had a loss in the TTT that he had to recover. In addition, after the ITT Roglic had such a difference that he limited to defending himself against...

    General News Thread

    The stages are not really that hard and Roglic is a beast in steep mountains top finishes without too much fatigue, plus he will maybe have some margin over Jonas after the TT and the previous stages. Then it should be Jonas going all-in with Rogla only defending and trying to make at the end...

    The one-week races excpected for most of the Rogla fans, not really a surprise aftter Aldag saying that Suisse was not ideal preparation, but he also said that Ardennes were a posibility so a bit dissapointed in that regard, but I can understand the logical behind this schedule.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    At least in spanish coverage it was very clear that they were expecting Remco to destroy Roglic in Lo Port (not saying that they wanted it) , and in Twitter and a spanish cycling forum in wich I take part there was a decent amount of people who wrote about how he was washed or at least in a...

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    I also believe that can be his schedule, mostly because I think these are the prefered races of Primoz in a normal year with Tour the France as a goal. Personally it is also my preference for him but I was counting on Jonas doing PN and not Tirreno, so going there versus Jonas also will be nice...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Remco with the shitty preparation that Roglic had for Vuelta 22 (two weeks or even less of training after an injury and no altitude) would have not even considered to start a GT.

    Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

    Roglic defeated Pogacar fair and square in Itzulia 21 (smashing him in the TT and being equal in the rest) and since then they never have faced properly in stage racing. Tadej was back then almost as strong as is it right now (at least in stage racing) and Roglic without crashes also is at this...
