Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it looks like Rogla and his wife are much more relaxed around Pogacar and the Hauptmans now that Jumbo is out of the picture.

Not sure when, but it actually suits them!
That was yesterday, when Roglič hosted a charity gala event.Not sure when, but it actually suits them!
Roglic fans have such short memories... Jumbo gave Roglic an amazing opportunity to win the Tour. He f.cked it up all by himself. Why would he want to stomp Plugge's face in revenge?It makes sense for Rog and Pog to work together at the Tour to topple Vingegaard. Pogacar might make this alliance with his countryman to disrupt Vingegaard. Roglic will train very hard to win the only stage race (of note) that he hasn't won before. He will be stomping on Plugge's face with every peddle stomp.
It's fu***** unbeliavable what we read in this thread. They even talk about rog's wife being more relaxed without Jumbo, what the hell?!Roglic fans have such short memories...

To be fair, Roglic fans already didn't like Jumbo when he was still riding for themIt's fu***** unbeliavable what we read in this thread. They even talk about rog's wife being more relaxed without Jumbo, what the hell?!
This is pure roglic fanboyism, now jumbo, Plugge and vingegaard are the enemys of roglic, they did very bad things to roglic, he needs revenge.....what a fantasy.
It doesn't make sense, because Jumbo did a lot for roglic, just like roglic did a lot for Jumbo.To be fair, Roglic fans already didn't like Jumbo when he was still riding for themI think part of the reason they're projecting all kinds of emotions on Roglic is that listening to him is like reading Tarot cards, you have to fill it all in yourself because he doesn't actually say much. He sees interviews as a necessary evil. And that's fine, he reminds me a bit of Menchov in that way.
You can win the tour again, if you dream a big dreamView: https://twitter.com/Debby_Drckx/status/1724876616210276366

If you keep posting the same prediction over and over again, eventually it'll become true someday. People are trying to predict Roglic's failure since 2020. Yes, there were some painful loses (mainly crashes), but he keeps coming back stronger and stronger. Maybe he won't win the Tour, but he'll have more big wins in the future, because the guy just has a heart of a true champion. And it doesn't matter what people on this forum say, trying to discredit him. It won't change a thing. Primož Roglič is a winner and will stay a winner.Good he is having some fun. He won't have any in the coming season. He will not win another grand tour.
You are just as much anti Roglic as his fans are pro Roglic, if not even more. Just a single poster said the things you find "*** unbelievable". It was just an observation which he/she even softened a bit by adding "maybe I'm reading too much into it". So in my opinion the only "*** unbelievabe" post on this page is yours.It's fu***** unbeliavable what we read in this thread.

What mistake? It was roglic who wanted to go to another team, jumbo didn’t fired roglic.You are just as much anti Roglic as his fans are pro Roglic, if not even more.

Also about showing Jumbo, Vingo and Plugge... Of course they are the enemy. They are on different teams now and Rogla wants to beat them. What is so outrageous about that? Maybe we live on different planets, but ever since I started following sports in every single sport a rider/player is extra motivated against his former team and wants to show them they made a mistake.
That's true. I mean from Roglič's point of view, he wants to show they bet on the wrong horse in Vingegaard. Although we can all agree Vingegaard is the right horse from what we've seen in the last two years. But Roglič should of course think different and believe in himself. There'd be no point in racing the Tour otherwise.What mistake? It was roglic who wanted to go to another team, jumbo didn’t fired roglic.
Bora won a GT with Hindley for fuchs sake.Good he is having some fun. He won't have any in the coming season. He will not win another grand tour.

Nah, imo it's more that they are both very popular and thus almost necessarily have some over the top guys among the fans - that's what/who triggers the more trigger-happy anti-fans.But it's weird to me how polarizing Rog is tbh, i.e. I can only really think of one other rider (Evenepoel for what it's worth) where antis flood the thread & project all sorts of isms & wrongs onto the rider & his fans.
It's like the basic fact Roglič is still so good & is going to target the TdF (& go to battle against Jumbo aka Visma - Lease a Bike or whatever they'll be called) triggers some people.

You fall in the same trap of giving every kind of reason why it's never Roglic' fault that he doesn't perform in the Tour. He got all the support he could ever need. Do you see Pogi fans complaining about the lack of a babysitter? No, because he does it all on his own, he's a one man team. Whereas apparently the few kms where Van Aert got to ride for himself are immediately a huge problem for Roglic (or for his fans, because Roglic himself never complains).Let's not rewrite history.
The only TdF he entered with complete leadership was 2021 (in 2020 Jumbo thought Dumoulin should be co-captain because reasons). But even then, Tony Martin drove them into opi omi; then on the fateful stage 3, Martin & Gesink both crashed again (Gesink DNF'd), leaving Rog alone in the bunch with 20km to go because WvA had permission to chase the jersey & forget any sort of dom duties. Colbrelli happened & the rest is history.

Because Dumoulin won the Giro in 2017 and was 2nd in TDF of 2018. Roglic only won the Vuelta by the start of TDF 2020.in 2020 Jumbo thought Dumoulin should be co-captain because reasons
Some people seem to think that criticising Roglic in any way makes you an "anti". It doesn't, it just means that someone is able to see that he's not perfect.
Because Dumoulin won the Giro in 2017 and was 2nd in TDF of 2018. Roglic only won the Vuelta by the start of TDF 2020.
You are acting as if Dumoulin was a bad rider... Like I said, he won the Giro in 2017, and was 2nd in TDF in 2018. There was no reason for Jumbo to put all their eggs in one basket named Roglic. Which was shown by the end result.It was because he was Dutch & Jumbo needed a local star for sponsorship reasons.
On the road Roglič was crushing the 2020 season over the summer. Jumbo even persisted with this 'Dumoulin co-leader' heresy in the Vuelta 2020 as well, which resulted in his meltdown when he couldn't keep up.
