Well they did win Giro with Hindlay.
It's not him I am selling short. The teams in play, ineos or moviestar does not have the team to back it up.I think you are selling him short. He is a great rider and definitely good enough to win GT's without the absolut best team. Some GT's has a weaker feld and he should be able to dominate them.
I think this whole thing is bad, especially for Jumbo. If they want do dominate the stage race calendar, they need both Roglic and Jonas. They should go out of there way to make him happy. Being compleat sole leader at the tour for them, is of course ridiculous and I think he knows that.
It's no secret that I think dual leadership at the tour is doable, just like in 22. The competition is so great that things will sort themselves out on the road and the team is strong enough to support them both. Just my opinion.
I don't like him going to Ineos. I think they often show themselves as tactically inept, and I don't trust them with his talent. I like Lidl much more for him. Skelmose could use a mentor and him and Mads could dom for him like no other team. Mads is a beast when he dom's, just ask Richie Port. It's like van Arte level stuff.

That was mostly a one off lucky shot, you don't see them winning GT much since then. Whereas a proper team would build up on that.

Not even UAE or Ineos have won a GT since Bora won one.

Man what are you waffling about. We're talking about a team that ride specialized bikes and have Hindley, vlasov, higuita, buchman, kamna, Daniel martinez and ujtedbrocks as climbing support, as well as a number of strong rouleurs. Also probably room for roglic to bring 1 or 2 of his favourite teammates. They know how to win a gt and vlasov and hindley both improved after joining.True, but they were much closer.
Until Uijtdebroeks gets too good, then Roglic is out the doorBora would be a good choice, he can mentor Uijtdebroeckx like he did Vingegaard
Didn't exist except for a couple of stage wins and the KOM jersey Evenepoel begs to differ.And in the GT Bora won in 2022, Jumbo didn't even exist beyond a couple of stage wins by Bouwman & the KOM jersey (Dumoulin DNF'd).
So things go fast in cycling. Not so long ago (2019) Jumbo were the underdogs, whereas now people believe everything they touch turns to gold. But that's not true either (when was the last time they won a Monument? i.e. Rog in 2020).
Complain? I only see people cheering him on.Yeah fans complain over JBV dominance and then we have this absolute legendary rider going away from them and all people do is....to complain. Roglic is balancing the peloton just by his own mindset. Get a grip people.
Even judged the continously lowered bar of these jokes, this was below par.He's going to Tour de Tietema–Unibet Cycling Team.
That's kind of how the sport works for all teams lol!Ineos did this to themselves, they showed every GT rider & agent that they where desperate to sign one and would go to any lengths. Roglic would simply have asked for the remco deal to sign.

Bora is the only team that has won a GT since July 2021 that is not part of jumbo-quickstep mergerThat was mostly a one off lucky shot, you don't see them winning GT much since then. Whereas a proper team would build up on that.
I was addressing his move to Bora. Anyway, every cycling fan should cheer this move by Rogla regardless of his personal likings.Complain? I only see people cheering him on.
