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

[Berniece]

Primoz at Movistar is just straight up weird...

No idea why he would choose them over Ineos.

Sole leadership, after the Vuelta it's clearly what he wants

Which he will get at Ineos, Lidl and Moviestar...

Not at INEOS, there's Rodriguez

Here's an interesting article on the current state of affairs re Rog's transfer & the situation at Jumbo: https://escapecollective.com/report...-buyout-clause-and-the-jumbo-merger-dominoes/

Jumbo want 5 million euros compensation. He has a 2 million euro salary. Jumbo has a 25 million (!) black hole in their finances.

It's all a bit desperate tbh & I think with a little bit of hindsight, someone should ask what in the name of hell Plugge was doing at Jumbo with their money in recent years, i.e. for example bringing in some high earners (van Baarle, Dennis, Benoot) last year. Bringing in Jorgensen for next year & also re-signing Vingegaard on a long term deal when none of this was future proof.

It's an incredible story & the consequences are going to be huge (like the total annihilation of Quick-Step, for starters). And of course Rog leaving his own team for a few reasons, i.e. one of which is because they're broke.

Rodriguez can't do what Rog can do, so it's a moot point, at least in the immediate future. The road always shows who's best. In that regard Rog has nothing to be concerned about with Rodriguez.

There are 3 GT in a year, there is plenty of space for 2 leader, especially considering that both CRC and TAO are in a position where the Giro would be a big objective for them

The finances for Roglic leaving don't make any sense tbh. If Jumbo are in a huge hole financially, they shouldn't have a leg to stand on to demand 5 mill.

Maybe they don't? i.e. maybe everyone is playing a game of poker now.

Who blinks first, wins. Maybe teams know he'll leave & don't want to pay; whilst maybe some contradictory reports were put out (with the help of some insiders...) about potential destinations (Ineos, Movistar, Trek) in order to provoke one of his suiters into paying up.

Like a football transfer. Who knows, but it's getting pretty crazy right now (the wild stories online about the whole Jumbo situation).

You can blame ineos for running up the price of every GC rider capable of winning the TDF

 

[Lequack]

The biggest surprise would be him staying at Jumbo now with all these rumors.

 

[Blanco]

Yeah, both great champions..
Seroously, whenever he goes, apart from UAE, he will demand and get sole leadership at the Tour next year and that's why he's going in the first place.

ISP has a good chance. Maybe Froome will give up most of his salary to pay Roglic in exchange for dual leadership at the TdF

 

[noob]

Could it be he's trying to bring Tratnik with him?

 

[Mlarsen]

It is going to bee Lidl - Trek . It is almost setteld now !

[red_flanders]

I blame it all on that Chris Horner who's been stirring it all up since the Spring - "Roglic must leave Jumbo if he wants to be team leader at the Tour" ....

Not exactly a unique observation…but that pretty much describes every one of Horner’s frenetic missives…

 

[noob]

So basically the more we circulate all these rumours the more expensive Rogla will become on the market?

It doesn't say that. Nor does the original article.

Jumbo-Visma will be shipping roglic by next-day amazon prime to his new team on receipt of payment 😆

This would've been the ultimate RaboFail.

I'd prefer INEOS for him but Lidl would be great; anywhere but Movistar.

might have to stop rooting for him if he goes to Israel

First podium and it will come naturally again.

Really. Why is that?

 

[Tim Cahill]

If the merger is dependent on Roglic's compensation payment and the savings from his salary then he has the opportunity to do something hilarious, go full-Gareth Bale.
