I think ASO pandering to French riders is way overblown.

I don't think Alaph' has any real chance of winning a GT, unless a route similar to that di Luca Giro appears.

But not years of rolling breakaway stages for them. The French had quite a drought before those two.

It's only allowed to have a TTT in the first third of a race, presumably due to reason you mention.

Thanks. Yeah, I think in the World Championship they are a fun spectacle but too distorting towards the big budget teams in stage races and any later than stage 4 risks major variants in team numbers.
There was a poll in local media. To select a best comment made by a fan. The overall winner was:
"Slovenians are the only ones that have Telemark on summer Olympics."
"Slovenci smo pa edini, ki imamo telemark na poletnih OI"
"Najboljša predstava v kolesarstvu, pa ga gledam že 30 let," je bil le eden izmed odzivov MMC-jevih bralcev na zlato olimpijsko kolajno Primoža Rogliča.

Golden bike was installed on trboveljski dimnik.
Zlato kolo na trboveljskem dimniku
Avtor uradnih vzponov na dimnik v Trbovljah Brane Povše se je tokrat odločil, da se na najvišji evropski dimnik povzpne zato, da bi počastil olimpijsko zlato Primoža Rogliča. Na 360 metrov visok stolp je tako simbolno odnesel in postavil zlato kolo.

His "golden" TT bike looks a bit underwhelming, in comparison to Carapaz and his bike.

This is the golden equipment of Olympic time trial champion Primoz…
Olympic champion means golden equipment! Check out Primoz Roglic' bike, helmet and clothing. Can't you wait to see him in action on Saturday?

He'll take big time out of Carapaz on it though

I like that bike, i.e. it's not garish or super bling.
As for Roglic, I watched the team presentation last night & he seemed happy to be in the Vuelta (a good sign). So if his injuries from the Tour are a distant memory & his form is there, this should be fun.

Seriously, after the stress and drama in basically all his races in the past 2 years I just really really need him to eat up the competition. Who cares about excitement. I want him to stomp everyone like Nibali in the Tour 2014 and win by 10 minutes. My cardiovascular system would appreciate a less stresful stage race after all this time...

Amen to that. We've had 2 GT's this year without any suspense for the win (Giro & Tour), so I'd also be perfectly A-Okay with some total domination in the Vuelta (even just "comfortable", like in 2019).
But this is Roglic, i.e. I hope for the best but always expect a certain dose of sh*t to happen in some form or another. I have my fingers crossed, as always.

"Sepp Kuss and Steven Kruijswijk will be afforded a free role"
I disagree with that decision! Crushweak okay if he can be a factor and give them another card to play. But Kuss at best can win a stage and IMO they should wait until Primoz has a healthy lead before turning him lose. Or let Primoz tell him he's good and he can go for himself on the day.

That’s why I thought this year’s TDF results were bad for TJV long term. What they appear to have learnt from their messup is that their approach in TDF was the correct one when in fact, they just got lucky and had Wout. Even after it was clear Vingegaard had a chance for the podium, they still did not allocate their resources to supporting him. Kuss was free and Kruijswijk did not turn a pedal once for Jonas. They will carry on with their shenanigans (credit to Mr. Horner) but they may not be as lucky next time and they will never ever win TDF this way…

Totally agree with Bolded.
Someone needs to remind me the last time Kruijswijk turned a pedal for anyone but himself. My memory isn't that good
.The guy is just off the charts at the moment The more rides he does like this, the more I wonder how he would have fared against Pogačar at the TDF.

Roglic's crash made the Tour anticlimatic GC wise. I think we would have seen a great fight there (with Pog winning by rather a small margin).

Great showing today, backing up his Olympic win with another TT win. So awesome.
