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

[Red Rick]

I discovered his channel about two weeks ago and I am still wondering who is asking the questions (he is obviously answering in these videos).

Don't know.

The interesting thing for me is that he appears to just be out for a stroll after the race.

Quite late uploading time in the night also. I thought he would be sleeping at 23:30 or 00:00 o'clock. Maybe it is not him personally the one who is running the channel.

Kindly held the jersey at stage 6. Tomorrow some cycling history to be made.

He keeps it real, like underground front line reporting on the ground. Shaky cam with close face framing as well, often in dark environments. There's some Blair Witch style guerrilla filmmaking going on here which deserves some praise.

Meanwhile for sheer cringe (which breaks the cringeometer) Chris Froome's youtube channel takes the cake. That intro... that disturbing smile...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Just stumbled on this while perusing a Twitter. Great read if anyone else missed it when it came out years ago.

They Say You Should Never Meet Your Heroes, But Here's What Happened When I Met Primož Roglič

They say you should never meet your heroes. Here’s what happened when I met mine.

It's definitely not him. Since this season he has a brand manager.

Green stripe, chill, high as kite looking Froglic might be even better than stoic full-green Vuelta terminator Froglic.

Forget Remco, Pog should start to worry also.

 

[VeloMaster]

The Catalunya thread is having a meltdown over Roglic's tactically astute decision not to support Remco's little adventure at the end of the stage.

Meanwhile, I continue to marvel at the dominant discourse that surrounds the two rivals. I earlier mentioned the tendency toward Remco losing, rather than Rogla winning.

Today, we have another example: Rogla as "wheel sucker" to Remco's heroics and panache. Even the experienced commentator on my feed, who definitely knows dumb tactics when he sees them, could not help but join in.

This suggests an answer to the question: Why did no one highlight that by far the "best" attack of the day was Rogla's response to Remco's initial effort. Watch it again to see how quickly and easily Rogla counters the move, which obviously required a faster and sharper push to close the gap and catch Remco tearing up the road.

It’s the same with Nadal and Alcaraz in tennis, these people can do no wrong. Pushed down our throats which leads to people disliking them.

So he said he will have a little break now. I hope he finds the time to hone in his TT position before the Giro. It is just as important as the endurance in the high mountains.

Pog and Rog will likely not contest a single race together until the autumn, their rivalry is almost non-existent nowadays. If Rog decides to take part in the Tour alongside Vinge then Pog may start worrying indeed.

 

[Red Rick]

Great win. Fine to me that he didn't sprint.

Literally only sad thing is he doesn't do the Ardennes.

Would love to see him wheelsucking Remco to the finish line in LBL.

It's important, but definitely not as important as high mountain endurance. If you go to the Giro and do 3 lousy TT's you could lose 6 minutes. If you go to the Giro and are not prepared for the high mountains you could lose half an hour.

Would love to see him wheelsucking Remco to the finish line in LBL.

That would mean he crosses the line in Evenepoel's wheel.

 

[Gregor_Slovenia]

Is there a chance to go for Fleche Vallone? I hope that he decides last minute for it.

I think he's simply supposed to be on altitude at that point

 

[Gargamel35]

Remco said Roglič is probably the best cyclist in the world when in form. Nice.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Great back to back GC wins for him with stages multiple stage wins and minor jerseys coming back from his escapade into Wright. I don’t think the criticism is fair as he’s riding to his strengths and should get better. Just like Evenepoel. Roglic won this round by outsmarting Evenepoel and holding on. Both will be better at the Giro and it should be a great show. This rivalry though is on par or bettering the Nibali vs Valverde and Froome/Sky vs Contador debates of old.

Chapeau! 6/7

Very nice. Maybe the kid is growing and there's hope for him. Not sure about his fans though.

 

[Miha81]

So happy for him. I hope the start of the season is sign of things to come. He is far from over

Exactly the same thing I am saying since I joined the forum. Let us see him win the Giro and hopefully the pressure will be on at JV to take him to the Tour for the double.

No. He is not better than Pogacar.

Has anyone won The 7 most prestigious one-week races (PN, TA, Catalunya, Basque Country, Romandie, Dauphine and Tour de Suisse). How many people have done it before?
