Neither Contador or Froome would ever beat Pogi at a monument, Rogla did, on top of everything else.

I had just about forgotten that finish, but yeah it took Alaphilippe hooking Hirschi and Pogacar basically out of contention and then celebrating early for Roglic to notch his lone Monument victory.

Some would say Alaphilippe heroically led out Roglic to victory.
That’s not even factoring in a Covid year with Pogacar not used to all the media post Tour win.

Because Hirschi had mechanical issues, and took Pogacar out of contention for the sprint... "Beating" Pogacar is a serious stretch here when he couldn't ride his sprint.

Not sure why LBL 2023 doesn't count, and on top of it he has beaten him at a WC.
@Berniece
I see. LBL edition, on where Pogi took himself out early in the race counts but a LBL edition on where it came to a bunch sprint and Rogla won sprinting, that doesn't really count. You have to admit this are rather strange criteria.
Anyway, note that when i wrote earlier Rogla has, among other, beaten Pogi in a GT race, week long stage race and at a monument, here i meant in races without any * involved, races on where both finished, racing against each other, and where Rogla won. And as said that was the era on where Pogi was already winning Tour(s) and beyond.
All in all Rogla is in a kind of strange position ATM, he already achieved, as the only one in history of cycling, what everybody else is dreaming of doing, some day. So motivation can take a hit, still winning some more, for the fans, why not.

As for the eras, some having issues pin pointing Rogla, a hint, think in eons. When Armstrong was still racing Rogla was a junior world champ, now when it's supposedly Pogi era, after all other supposed eras, Rogla is still leading Red Bull in the fight for the red.
Rogla eon.
Rogla eon.

It wasn't me that defined the windows we had discussed about in the past couple of days:
Page 920 - Teams & Riders - Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives
Page 920 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.

As explained above for me the Rogla eon still lasts and considering Rogla is the only rider in pro road peloton that already achieved what everybody else is dreaming of, motivation for doing that again is of rather low priority on Rogličes side and Pogi hence isn't as defining factor for Rogla as Pogi is for the rest of the peloton. Lets not forget Rogla out climbed Pogi at the Tour 2020 and was a part of the winning team in some later edition, utilising tactics Remco now believes is the key to beat Pogi.
Anyway, to train good and to build a strong base and ultimately to do good in races, with a bit of toying with the competition, that is now the driving force and motivation, starting with TA in 76 days. Basically just around the corner.
Who knows, if wins come in plenty then Tour 2026 can still become a viable option, if competition will be ahead then best to focus on Vuelta exclusively. We'll see.

Yeah, imagine if Rogla wouldn't start his career in pro road cycling. Then some other exceptional riders would by now have 91 wins more. For example Pogi would have won Vuelta, Remco Giro ...
Crazy.

Beats me. There was some talk about the 2023 edition, anyway, Pogi would have never won Vuelta 2019 either. It's mostly gibberish, basically different people saying if Rogla wouldn't be there our boy would have won, like that LBL edition and similar. And i guess the other 90-ish wins Rogla won so far. D'oh!

Bar illness Remco believes he would have won the Giro already, 2023 edition.
Valverde would likely have a couple wins more too yes.
