Win 2022 Milano-San Remo?
Joking aside I want to see him there and what he can do...
, or Jumbo just *** up the preperation for every monument they target.
I've been seriously thinking about this lately. My opinion was that Roglic is just not great in these long hard one day races, but the same is happening to WvA. They have the same coach, they both fly straight from an altitude camp etc... Maybe Jumbo just lacks in preparing their riders for these kind of races, they are a GC team first and foremost and they always prepare well for TDF, but this year in the 5/6 hardest one day races (not counting MSR) it was disappointment after disappointment while always having one of the biggest favorites. I mean the best performances we've seen from WvA and Roglic in these kind of races were in a crazy 2020 season where everything revolved around your TDF form, there was no time to target your peaks as big races were constantly on the menu.
And if you look beyond their two big leaders even their supporting cast is often disappointing in big classics... Compare Taco in Jumbo and in Wanty for example, so it will be interesting to see performances of newcomers like Laporte next season just for analysis.
Anyway I'm hoping for a better 2022 for both Roglic and the team, especially in the biggest races... And after watching the Golden child putting the game difficulty on easy again, that after witnessing a Quickstep rider becoming a WC again and a guy who put Rogla out of TDF win Paris-Roubaix.... pffff happy it's the end of season, I need a good long break from watching cycling...
Hope everyone is having a good day!
