Lovely stuff. The Mark Wahlberg picture has me kinda confused though.

This is what happens when he does a lot of TT training. He said before the race he did more TT training this year then he did in the past years. The TT route was perfect for him. But I didn't believe in him if I'm completely honest. Boy how wrong I was...never doubt the guy. He is the epitome of a rider always coming back to top after a major disappointment.

And when he lost the Tour to Tadej he had clearly concentrated on the other main focus: climbing. It's the dilemma for any great rider preparing for a GT and 2020 they weren't quite ready. 2021 he took too many hits.
He definitely can do the job if this is any indication of a focused effort. This should go a long way to dispel the rumors that he's in decline and Remco will dominate all.

His ultimate move has been upgraded to a Rogoldstomp now. Every time he passes some unlucky chap in a TT this song will be blasted:

Or the live version of AC/DC's "Heatseeker". Best pursuit or TT motivational tune ever.

28th June...

Keep smiling, Primož!

He looks 12 again. Not quite washed up!

Damn rogla stomped them all. 1 minute into dumo that’s something

Rominger only ever managed to finish 5th in an Olympic TT. I guess no one told Roggie that.

Happy for Rohan too!

I swear that for a moment I made myself believe Rominger had an Olympic gold.

I still don't see why the thread title was changed from playing on Roglic' and Landa's completely identical skillsets.

Their identical skillset will make them both podium the next Vuelta. Just watch...

Here is a really nice and long story about his racing history from beginning to today's victory:

Zgodba Primoža Rogliča s posebnim prizvokom #video - siol.net

siol.net

It is in Slovenian so I would recommend using Google translate.

I kept hydrating as water came out of my eyes. Told others it was due to the heat. Hands and neck started to hurt from holding them in the air. Throat was getting a bit sore from using my voice. Then i just did another round.

Body is hurt now. Should be OK in a day or two. The soul is happy!

He is going to smash the opening ITT so hard. San Luca style.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I actually put some money on him for the road race. He fooled me and won the time trial. What a troll legend!

 

[CyclistAbi]

I am toying with the idea to make that Hauptman motivation speech a wake up tune. To see if it boosts my daily productivity. Maybe i will give it a try after the weekend.

 

[CyclistAbi]

A bit of statistics:

• TT medal on world championships
• TT medal on Olympic games
• Won GT
• Won monument

Apparently only one cyclist in history managed to pull that off so far. I can make a poll but lets say you have one attempt in guessing the name.

Hint:

The mentioned cyclist doesn't consider himself being a TT specialist but says he can pull off a good TT occasionally. When i guess he trains for it! Don't let the image fool you.

Združil kronometer na OI in SP, tritedensko dirko in spomenik

Primož Roglič je s sanjsko predstavo v Tokiu postal eden od sedmih kolesarjev, ki se lahko pohvalijo, da so v kronometru osvojili medaljo tako na olimpijskih igrah kot svetovnem prvenstvu, hkrati pa osvojili še vsaj eno tritedensko dirko.

Ok, same question as in Pogi's case at the Tour. How many minutes over the second guy at the Vuelta?

Nah. He's the favorite but I'm not gonna crown him yet.

Should be a good race if Bernal is in good shape too

I wouldn't be so sure. His preparation will be odd and on OG road race he showed he struggled at the end. He has lack of race days and might have problems on hard days and could crack. Top Bernal could make race hard and leave him behind. With prologue and TT he may be ahead a minute or so, but that could be quickly "lost" in moutains against top Bernal or someone else.

Just seeing the stage 1 and 3 profiles. Someone is going to take the jersey early! Going forward, through the stage profiles. Way to go Vuelta. Likely a good GT race ahead!

P.S. If it would be a given to Roglič. What would be the point. Olympic medal was earned and that is just the way we all like it.
