So if Roglic makes it to stage 6 it’s all in the bag so to speak eh?

Stage 6 is again more or less about Bora getting Rogla through safely. Then a nice dinner, stage 7 is on where Rogla will have to deliver. Otherwise likely a quiet dinner to follow. We'll see.

If he does, he better delivers. It's going to be an awkward dinner, if he finds himself on the ground after 5 days.

Ambition for TdF is here, but I think they invested for more than just one TdF win. Where was LottoNL-Jumbo/TJV before Primož started to win?
With or without TdF he's bringing winning culture, experience ... tiny details which will shape BORA - hansgrohe (or whatever they will be called in the future) in years to come.
It's not just about TdF but investment in teams future. From interviews with Ralph Denk I would say they are aware of that.

Was listening to The Move podcast, about 2024 season preview, and a question was asked in which position you would like to be the most, entering the 2024 season, to enjoy it most. And Rogla is up there. In between 100% and 1000%.

If Rogla navigates safely through stage 9 it's game over. But we know that Rogla is a generous guy and doesn't always want to crush his rivals. He prefers more suspence and some adrenaline (natural for an ex ski-jumper). That's why he gave the Tour 2020 to Pogi instead of crushing him earlier. That's why he waited till last kilometers to overtake Thomas at the Giro. Time will tell if he donates one more Tour to his rivals or decides to win it himself this time.

No rush.

So Vlasov said he won't work for Rogla unless his chances are gone, including the Tour 2024 and in races prior to the Tour. So there will be some inner team tensions that Rogla will need to deal with. I guess as expected.

Don’t be surprised if he attacks Roglic for his position. Although won’t happen since Roglic will wipe the floor with him in the first mountain stage.

Likely not attacking, still i could imagine some reluctance to pull for Rogla, till Vlasov is still in contention. The question i guess is what does it mean, to be in contention. Podium, top five, top 10 ... So we will just have to wait and see.

What part didn't you understand?
I also didn’t understand much. Up there - where? 1000% of what?

And how does the second part of your post (Rogla is up there at 1000%) correlate with the first part (the question which position you would like to be in most)?

Considering the fact there’s quite a lot of us who don’t understand your post, it’s probably writers fault not the readers, yes?
