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

I wonder when Rogla will mention his own trophy cabinet to Nibali

Roglic has more funny Basque hats than Vincenzo so he has bragging rights in that.

Well he has an LBL and Olympic Gold I'm sure would make Nibali jealous . But otherwise Vincenzo's cabinet contains quite a few thropies Primoz has yet to collect that are top shelf.

Primoz has time, though his career has been much shorter. But he's already 32 (?). Only a few prime years left to do collecting. Damn I wish Pogi wasn't so strong!

He will be 32 on 29 October 2021

The Olympic Gold is the one he has Big Bragging rights on!

So maybe 3 more good years before the decline starts.

-Vincenzo was 34 when he last was strong enough for victory in a GT. But started cycling as a young kid and turned pro age 20 and won his first GT at 25.
-Froome last won at 33 but probably would have been strong enough to win the tour at 34 if he didn't crash.
-Contador was around 32/33 when he stopped being able to win GTs
-Porte had his best GT result, 3rd in TDF, at 35.
-Purito almost won the Vuelta at 36 and was strongest at 33/34
-Woods will be 35 tomorrow and is as strong as ever, but he will not really ever contest a GT
-Fuglsangg was strongest at 34/35


So I give him yes 3 seasons probably. But of course the kids are so much stronger than 5-10 years ago.

Downplaying cyclist like Nibali. Well. You can do that but first you need to polish all his trophies. And after a hard day's work you can join Nibali and Roglič having a cerveza. Roglič smiling and saying tomorrow you will polish my trophies.

 

[CyclistAbi]

See you next season!

I just imagine Nibs blanking out at youth skijumping trophies

In 2022 i would like to see Roglič participating in:

• Paris–Nice
• La Flèche Wallonne
• Il Lombardia
• Doing nationals RR or ITT
• Slovenia getting long term national team coach capable of managing an all-star team

I'm quite keen to see him try Strade Bianche again.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

I can‘t wait to see Roglic back in racing in spring of 2022. In 2021, he started late (Paris-Nice as his first race), because Vuelta 2020 ended in November 2020). In 2022, I hope we see him back already in February.

Andalucia, Algarve or even UAE (first race against Tadej in 2022) should be nice options…

 

[Krzysztof_O]

If Primoz gets bored he'll try SB, then ski-jumping in Planica and then PR. Should be fun so why not, eh?

 

[yaco]

I am happy for him to ride a similar calendar to this year which got him good results - Possibly if he completes the TDF, then he may miss the Vuelta.

 

[johnymax]

I think the problem for him in SB are the descents in sterrato and the fight for position to take the most important sectors at the front. The uphill sectors of sterrato should suit him, but I fear he'd come to the main sectors with not enough energy left in the tank to compete with the best.

Also...he has unfinished business with Paris-Nice and if he wants to ride the French race I doubt he'll ride Strade the day before.

But you never know with him. I thought he had no chance in olympics ITT and he won gold so...

Roglic had a special ceremony in his hometown today (lots more pictures & videos at this link): https://siol.net/sportal/kolesarstv...cem-kraju-dozivel-se-en-krasen-sprejem-563437

Wow, Primoz gained quite a lot in his upper body. What's his next sport?

 

[Lequack]

Lumber-jacking.

 

[Oldermanish]

The Olympic Gold is the one he has Big Bragging rights on!

In the TT, against all of the well-respected specialists and new kids on the block, too.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Hey guys, one thing I noticed some time ago, and about which I never heard someone speak, is that Primoz reminds me so much of Denis Menchov...

So maybe Primoz is the new Rominger, but certainly also the new Menchov... Well, Menchov actually was a pure GT GC rider, and never liked the one day races very much. But he looked like Primoz, joked like Primoz, was calm like Primoz, and rode for Rabobank (now JV)!...

I don't see it - Primoz hasn't crashed going uphill.

 

[SHAD0W93]

I don't see it - Primoz hasn't crashed going uphill.

It took 9 seasons for that, Roglic still has time.

 

[johnymax]

He has actually. Tour 2017 stage 17. But he won that stage.
