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

Likely just preparing for winter Olympics due in February.

I think he looks ok. Ok, as far as a world class professional cyclist is concerned. Imagine how skinny other GC riders would look. You often hear people on this forum say how Primož looks like a bodybuilder on the bike compared to other climbers. It makes you think, how skinny pro cyclists really are.

He has biceps, actual balanced core and leg muscles. Contrast that to most dedicated climbers that can't pick up their own bike. As another note: Pogacar is also a non-starved talent which suggests he has some continued resiliency and upside towards strength/weight as he matures. That is scary to his opponents.

I feel his 32nd year is going to be a good one.

Last year he won a Vuelta stage the day before and the day after his birthday

It has just ended. You mean his 33rd.

Happy Birthay Primoz. For goodness sake eat some cake!

Only half a cake though, i.e. it's standard policy in the Roglic family (this was before the Tour this year):

Alternatively, they already ate half the cake!

I don't see any crumbs. So no... although someone might have eaten it behind his back when he wasn't looking.

In all seriousness, for all the talk of constant dieting & scientifically prepared meals in pro cycling, it seems these guys eat quite a bit a fast food like the rest of us (burgers, fries & even pizza) + consume alcohol.

So their life isn't that bad (or at least much different) from a culinary standpoint. They just eat less.

You don't think they can eat cake without getting crumbs everywhere?

Happy birthday Champ! To many more Roglstomps in the following season and hopefully the most important one in Paris at the end of July.

How carefully do you listen to Rogla's interviews?

Can you finish these famous Primoz Roglic quotes?

Hip hip hurray, it's Primoz 32nd birthday! How well do you know him?

I wonder if people at Eurosport created that image themselves or reused existing one. If they made one themselves then my respect to them for showing such respect to Roglič.

Happy birthday champ!

They eat Less Junk (burgers, fries, sugar, alcohol) but Hugh Amounts of nutrious food.

I aced it,very easy .

 

[CyclistAbi]

At least we now know the full story behind the half of the cake. Half now and half at the wedding.

Sounds reasonable.

 

[RedheadDane]

Then they either had a very small wedding, or it was just part of the wedding cake.
But looks like my guess was right.

 

[CyclistAbi]

From now on only 5 cakes for Roglič.

Lev finally a trueborn Roglic

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Very nice... He enjoys marriage, had great holidays. Soon it‘s back to work. I‘m sure he can‘t wait for the 2022 season to begin.

The big goal is clear: although he will have problems beating Pogi in the Tour, he will want to improve: in 2020, he was 59 seconds behind Pogi in Paris, so everything which is less than these 59 seconds would be improvement. I think it could be like this in 2022:

1. Pogi 90:00:00 hrs
2. Primoz +29 secs
3. Bernal +5 mins

I don't think Pogacar wins if he takes 90 hours to ride the race.
