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

[Gigs_98]

On the day Dortmund led the Bundesliga in the 89th minute just for Bayern to win the title yet again. On the day Fernando Alonso led the Monaco qualifying until the final sector just to lose out to the all conquering Red Bull. On the day Primoz Roglic was about to win the Giro just for a dropped chain to hand the win back to the Ineos.

ON THIS DAY PRIMOZ ROGLIC DECIDED THAT TODAY THE EMPIRE WOULD NOT WIN AGAIN. TODAY IS HIS DAY.

what a win. i have some tears actually, that was special.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Least Valuable Player today was the mechanic, trying to push Roglic whole having a Cervelo on his other arm.

Great ITT from Roglic. Today he was clearly head and shoulders above the rest of this Giro field. His first non-vuelta GT win which he has tried for so many times

 

[Netserk]

Always facing adversity. Never losing faith in himself. Admirable character.

Congratulations on winning a Grand Tour by being exceptional on one stage. I guess it was the right strategy because it worked.

Great smash and win for Roglic and I’m happy that he didn’t lose because of the dropped chain. Shows his best form today, murdered everyone, and got revenge for the Tour.


@Red Rick at least Almeida and Caruso beat Kuss but I end up with the egg on my face.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

When is the Rominger thread title coming back? Does he need to win two Lombardias first?

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Yes

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

those that know from the stage thread yesterday i itold you all Roglic would win it today,.,,,been chat around the fields about roglic hes been pacing himself to the never go in red every stage to go nuclear hear...even with beeing unlucky he smashed it. Deserved victory Primoz, chapeau!

@vwpe I’m starting to believe…

 

[Netserk]

 

[Carols]

He has the physical and mental strength, the determination and pure guts that only Great Champions possess.
I'm still crying......... Thank you Primoz!!!!

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

Easy peasy, with seconds to spare!

 

[Forever The Best]

Why is Roglic involved in so many tense endings? This Giro, 2020 Tour, 2020 LBL, 2020 Vuelta. Congrats of course.

@vwpe I’m starting to believe…

its not like i didnt say what exactly was gonne happen in the spring regarding Van aert and MVDP LONG before it did happen on this forum (after its pointless) but then again thats nothing new regarding MVDP always been the stronger of those two their entire career almost so nothing to new there...

This regarding roglic was and is not my field as i dont talk to primoz,but chatter from people directly involved with him came back to me and from those people roglic rode conservatively on purpose the last 3 stages to never go deeper than he needed and basicly in terms of the number coulda rode way more agresively yesterday and day before so in those terms hes saved himself to basicly smash it on this GT which turned out to be true.

Primoz deserved this and clearly the strongest rider won!

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Considering the circumstances IMO this is the most legendary win of his career.

 

[cellardoor]

Unbelievable ride today! I'm so happy for him.

 

[Blanco]

He lost 25 sec to Thomas on Bondone.
He and Thomas were even at Val di Zoldo.
He gain 3 sec to Thomas at Tre Cime.
Trend is clear, I expect a win on Monte Lussari. I don't know by how much though. My guess is 20-40 sec.

I'm sorry for quoting myself, but I just can't resist

He's just Thibaut Pinot with happy endings more than ~0% of the time

Primoz Roglič is a lucky French GOAT connoisseur thread?

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Yeah, their achievements are astonishingly similar:
-3 Vueltas
-1 Giro
-Tour runner-up
-9 big one-week races
-a big TT achievement (hour record vs Olympic Gold)

If Rogla wins one more monument they will be tied at 2.

 

[Netserk]

More so, he won three Vueltas in a row, was 2nd in the Tour same year as the second Vuelta and won the Giro afterwards.

Congrats PR!
