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

[Carols]

So went from muscle strain behind knee to "knee pain." That's not good at all.

Honestly, though, it would be fine if he didn't race again until the Dauphine. That's only 6 weeks, and throw in an altitude camp before that and he should be ready for the Tour.

All this talk about the Tour not being his Moby ***...sorry, it is, and should be. He's got 2-3 years max left at top level, and winning a Tour would cement his place among the best stage racers of his generation. 3 Vueltas are great, even amazing, but adding a Tour would do justice to his talent and evident work ethic. It would really be a shame if he retired without a Tour win, IMO.

I agree. Dauphine and Tour. The rest is irrelevant if he is injured, he won't win them anyway. Heal First!

Go home Rogla.

 

[Rackham]

I would have wound down the car window & shouted out "hey Rog, Red Rick said he wants you to attack 500m from the line on the Mur de Huy!".

No risk no glory eh.

"Who is this Red Rick guy"

and that's where I can claim that

I don't know this guy, but I'm in on the bandwagon

I was literally the first after @johnymax on the bandwagon

 

[CyclistAbi]

I'm sure that Rogla knows who Red Rick is.

JV: Primož, why aren't you resting.
Roglič: Red Rick said i should go home and i went. From Spain.

All this talk about the Tour not being his Moby ***...sorry, it is, and should be.

Tour will come and likely more than one. The debate was more in the direction if there is anything beyond the Tour. On why doesn't he only do the Tour. Now personally i don't feel Roglič would trade everything else for one Tour.

Fleche is Fleche with or without Rog.

It just wouldn't be the same.

I'm sorry for unclear instructions. Rog, take care of yourself. Peak for July like a proper July fan, beat Poggers, proceed to also win Vuelta, then you can Vamos a la Playa and drink many cervezas if you want.

July headlines: "Intense days for Roglic: first he climbed the highest peak in France then he punched Pogacar when watching the Tour on a roadside"
Roglic: "According to my guru, these versatile preparations for Vuelta will pay off!"

Can't believe you're wasting your time in this thread. This guy is so yesterday's news

 

[gregrowlerson]

Everything is just a deflection for number 4.

No Roglič at Fleche and LBL. That sucks.

Mods edit my name to 'Sad Rick' please

 

[glassmoon]

still the knee issue?

 

[Bonimenier]

JV really dropped the ball by letting him ride Itzulia. Hope he gets back at full force soon.

 

[CyclistAbi]

It looks like no La Flèche Wallonne or Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2022. Get well Primož and hopefully you will be healthy and in good shape for Critérium du Dauphiné. Or if needed to skip that too and prepare and go straight to the Tour de France. Personally i feel that a good performance at Critérium du Dauphiné could be beneficial regarding the Tour. Obviously if health issues would take more time and would interfere with the optimal preparation. Then to skip it.

P.S. Just seen that @acm already posted this info.

Beats him further injuring his knee and not being able to ride Le Tour!!! Heal well Primoz!

 

[CyclistAbi]

The main issue here is this type of injuries normally take two to three months to heal properly. It will hence likely be a rather tight schedule regarding the Tour.

We'll see.

 

[johnymax]

I'm so sad. I really wanted to see him have another go at Fleche. Before the season he said that last season he was surprised Ala passed him before the finish line. He said he won't let it happen again this year. I was ready for a good old fashion stomp on the Mur the Huy. Oh well...obviously to heal the injury is more important. Hopefully he'll be ready for the Tour.

 

[Eeslliw]

Hopefully he'll be ready for the Tour.

If there won't be Roglstomp in Dauphine before TDF, I would really start to get worried .

What type of injury? I haven't read anywhere what exactly is wrong with his knee, just speculations.

+1
I was really looking forward to Fleche...

He said in an interview for Slovenian media he felt pain in a muscle behind his knee. In an interview after Itzulia. I don't know if any other information beyond that was shared. Now if we take just this information and guess a bit. Muscle injuries in this area can in general take from one to three weeks or from one to three months to heal properly. Depending on how serious the injury was. In any case i feel that it's a good thing to skip this two races in April and hopefully after some time off the bike for the problem to resolve itself. Likely this involves no or only some light training in May.
