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

-can't wait until he wins his 5th Vuelta in full walrus moustache.

Maybe start with his 4th?

 

[RedheadDane]

Maybe his 4th - presumably expecting it to be next year - still won't be enough time to grow a full walrus moustache.

 

[Peter von]

part of the joke was that he needed several more years to grow it to it's full potential; granted I might need at least one more cup of coffee today to have a properly calibrated joke-brain.

 

[Lequack]

He's back to ski business

One teambuilding with Bora and he's into ski touring. Love it

I find it funny Roglič reposted Cervelo TT bike by Jumbo Visma. Maybe he forgot it's not his bike any more

So winning ToS and the Tour in the 2024 season would cement Rogla as the best stage racer of the current generation?

What riders you consider of the current generation?

Good question. Considering Roglič is an intergenerational champion. So one can focus on the names currently rating high in regards to the Tour 2024. Or all of them that Roglič has raced against during his career. Both include you too, Froome.

Depends on the win. If he beats Vingegaard, and Vingegaard is in the same form as last year and doesn't have any bad luck, then sure. But I don't see anyone beat such a Vingegaard.

Fair enough. Lets do it then.

Das Reboot – Primoz Roglic revives Tour de France dream at Bora-Hansgrohe

2024 season preview: Slovenian finds the perfect landing spot after Jumbo-Visma departure

www.cyclingnews.com

The Tour is the missing piece. Whether it ends in agony or in ecstasy, the Roglič reboot at Bora-Hansgrohe will be one of the stories of the season. It certainly won't be boring.

Das Reboot it is!

....too many ifs and conditions to be realistic. Does he come out on top if he wins and Jonas gets a flat somewhere? How about hay bales? Do sudden mergers with hay bales get added to the conditions?

Why not, eh?

No ifs.

If he wins Suisse he's definitely the best one-week stage racer in entire history, although he maybe already is.
If he wins the Tour, he'll be the 2nd best active GT rider without a doubt.
If he wins both, he will become one of the cycling Immortals, whose records will stand the test of time.

If not a secret who would you still rate higher?

Almighty Froome, of course..

I see.

Why? Because of the diversity of the races he won? Sean Kelly won 14 major stage races, and Roglic 9.

Winning Tour de Suisse will not make a significant difference for Roglič. One week stage races are not as important as Grand Tours or even momuments that is why riders like Merckx or Hinault never cared too much about them

Winning the Tour, that's what would bring him to another level in cycling history or if not the Tour then a WCRR title.

Hope that his achievements stand the test of time, of course.

There is that little token he took from the Olympics, too. How many of the other riders up for that consideration have won a Gold?

He confirmed it's a personal goal.
