I never said such thing - only thing I contested was your imaginary story of Roglic wanting to ride, while the doctors was against the participation.You were totally right and Rogla is 100% healthy.

Not no chance by any means, but the only GT he has won he was somewhat allowed to win because he was underestimated. I don't think he's taken that leap to the top that some expected. Well off of Hindley this year in the Giro once Hindley dropped the hammer. Well off of Vingo and Pogi last year in the Tour. Plus he's leaving Ineos right? Or did I make that up? I like the guy, so I will not be disappointed if he wins. It was probably unfair to put him below Remco, but I think Remco has a higher ceiling (and a lower floor). I see it as:
- Roglic
- Hindley
5. Mas et al
- Remco (although won't be surprised if finished outside the top 10 either)
- Carapaz

You dont make any sense as per usual.OK so you agree Roglič is highly likely not 100% healthy.
As for the contesting. Your claim hence goes more in the direction although doctors where present at the meeting. But that was just because. Mere formality. As they could have invited lumberjacks just as well. As if we take away my imaginary story. Doctors for sure were all saying Roglič is 100% healthy and no concerns whatsoever involved in regards to Vuelta.
Could be.
Vertebrae don't really break into pieces they often have a small crack in them. It's not unheard of to be back in action quite quickly after a break if it's small.
Those issues should be gone and probably part of the yard sale of bruising from his hay bale encounter, then riding aggressive afterward. Structurally he could be sound if there aren't nerve issues to hinder him. His form is #1 and how deep he'll need to go to stay in contact until form coalesces.Lets not forget Rogla had issues when trying to lift his leg above the saddle. Less than a month back. They are pushing it.
Said that lets hope for the best.
Yeah, this could become a year when all three GTs live up 100% to expectations.
Giro 2022 was 10/10 stars.
Tour 2022 was 10/10 stars.
Vuelta 2022 could become 10/10 stars.

So you instead assume Primož was not injured severely at the Tour. Did have an optimal Vuelta preparation. They are hence bluffing?
Is that what you are suggesting? As some people in this thread seem to suggest that. And i don't know on what ground they base their claims on.
But why would you think that when they did select him?@tobydawq
He is likely still injured and had a sub-optimal Vuelta preparation. That is my aim. To establish that as a fact. And not that other BS some are spreading around.
But why would you think that when they did select him?
Healthy? YesSo what you are saying is due to Roglič being selected somehow automatically now he is 100% healthy and in optimal form? That is on how this things work? And we can just disregard the last month completely.
Yes - that's exactly what I am assuming. Noone can even sit on his bike let alone ride with best cyclists of the world up on the good old Alpe d'Huez after being "severely injured". Noone can then resume and attend another GT a little bit more than a month after he was "severly injured".@bNator

We can establish that post festum. If he has a disappointing Vuelta performance then there will be two possible reasons:He is likely still injured and had a sub-optimal Vuelta preparation. That is my aim. To establish that as a fact. And not that other BS some are spreading around.
Your providing no evidence he’s not 100% healthy. And abandoning the Tour does HELP his recovery from injury to prepare for the Vuelta.@bNator
On top of that he abandoned the Tour to prepare for Vuelta? It just doesn't add up.
@Bonimenier
He is not 100% healthy. But you are claiming all along it's just the team bluff anyway. Hence i can understand on why you are insisting he is 100% healthy.
Neither do you. Zeeman said Roglic is not completely pain-free and that means he's not 100% healthy. I don't know what else you want.Your providing no evidence he’s not 100% healthy. And abandoning the Tour does HELP his recovery from injury to prepare for the Vuelta.
For CyclistAbi to shut up about nonsense. I don’t think he’s 100% percent healthy. But that’s just my opinion that I’ve only repeated like once or twice. CyclistAbi keeps repeating it over and over with no evidence, which gets tiresome.Neither do you. Zeeman said Roglic is not completely pain-free and that means he's not 100% healthy. I don't know what else you want.
