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

[acm]

I think it's Van Aert's fault. If he wasn't so selfish, he would have ridden the Vuelta to assist and protect Roglic from such assaults.

Wrong. WvA would probably sprint for himself and not protect Roglič.

 

[Salvarani]

No van Aert was rightfully preparing for the Worlds, he didn't need to ride the Vuelta. He should however have convinced Primoz to not put that statement out. That was rather selfish of him.

He also made some comments about Wright, that he could have kept to himself if he was smart.

He has had a really busy off-season recovering from his injuries. New baby. A lot has happened.

We will see how he goes when he comes back but Im not too sure. Think he knows that he will struggle against the likes of Pog, Vingegaard and Evenepoel.

I dont think we will see him dominate races like in the past, but he should of course be very capable still. Just more vulnerable.

I think we can all agree it was Roglic’s fault for not wearing the inflatable airbag which could have kept him in the race.

If only he had stuck to ski jumping...

Thank god he didn't...

C'mon guys. You really are the definition of the peanut gallery. Stop jerking around. Only two months left. Time to get serious.

 

[Scarponi]

Really hope he brings some good form to Giro. Remco chasing Roglics attacks will be fun and vice versa

We’re as serious as you

Perhaps telling them again your thoughts on Wright incident would help?

 

[CyclistAbi]

So Catalunya. Then hopefully only Swiss left. To win them all. Then Giro. Then hopefully only Tour left. To win them all.

What to do with the Monuments? Rogla should likely attempt to win some more? Closer to the end of his career? A season or two dedicated for this shorter races. When he can afford to be more chunky.

We'll see.

Seems like a realistic scenario, unless he deliberately crashes into Fred Wright again.

Il Lombardia this year

Give it a rest. In the end it was an internal matter. Something for the peloton. We just tagged along. Now new season is ahead and that is last year's snow. Wright should worry about winning stages at the Tour and Roglič should worry about. Well. He shouldn't really worry about all that much to be honest. If he will be forced to win races such as Catalunya, Giro, nationals, worlds, Vuelta, Lombardia ... so be it. Otherwise there is no real pressure involved. For a rider being 24 in UCI rankings. We'll see.

@acm

Indeed this is likely something to participate in each year. Suitable for an in GC form type of cyclist.

Came across some interesting stats. Among currently active riders with the most wins. In the top ten all are sprinters. Roglič currently being eight. With 65 wins and counting.

Neverjetno, v kakšni družbi se je znašel Primož Roglič! Je edini ...

Primožu Rogliču je uspelo nekaj nepredstavljivega. Je sploh edini v prvi deseterici še aktivnih kolesarjev z največ zmagami, ki ne spada med sprinterje.

Conveniently published right after the retirements of Valverde, Rebellin and Gilbert.

Not true. Sagan is number two.

@Squire

Conveniently indeed. Article likely being written and prepared in some folder. Waiting for the retirements!

@tobydawq

As the article claims.

 

[CyclistAbi]

As the article is in Slovene. Here are the numbers from the article.

Mark Cavendish: 162
Peter Sagan: 123
Arnaud Demare: 92
Elia Viviani: 87
Alexander Kristoff: 86
Edvald Boasson Hagen: 81
Francoz Nacer Bouhanni: 70
Primož Roglič: 65
Dylan Groenewegen: 64
Sam Bennett: 60

P.S. All sprinters.

Sagan is not a sprinter. Or at least was not.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Hard to say Roglic isn’t a sprinter when the last thing we saw him do was sprinting


But yes, he’s racked up a lot of wins in a short amount of time compared everyone but Cav and Sagan.

In the period from 2017 to 2023, he is the rider with the most pro victories outright.

The same goes for 2018 to 2023.

In 2019 to 2023, Pogacar beats him.

 

[Netserk]

How many of his wins were bunch sprints? 75 %?

 

[tobydawq]

Does that change his characteristics?

 

[Netserk]

From that which is scarce, it's more about his wins than about his character as a racer.
