I noticed the analysis, as expected Bora predicted to be third in rankings going into 2024 season.

I don't agree with ranking them tier 2 though, but that can easily be sorted out on the road.

Just looking at it real quick, a bigger complaint based off the points is Ineos being in tier 2 and not tier 3.

I read the whole analysis and i guess Bora is at the top of tier 2 due to still having potential to grow, compared to UAE and Visma, were it seems they have reached plateau. Ineos likely at the bottom of tier 2 due to previous two seasons being positioned much higher. So i guess a bit of bias and borderline positioning for both teams. Now it's up to them to set the direction.

Looking good for Roglic so far. Remco has lost twice to his domestique Martinez, Vingo losing more than 2min in a ITT and barely beating Bernal on the climb. Word on the street is Pogi couldn't sleep at night during winter thinking about the stomp, that's why he decided to go all-in at the Giro.

On the other hand you can clearly see from the video above Rogla has unlocked another level this year, he doesn't even wheelsuck anymore.

What can I say, one of the most dominant beginnings of a season by a rider probably in history. And he hasn't even started racing yet... What a rider!

Man, he looks more than ready for the start of new season.

While this is the Roglic thread, 'chubby' Tratnik is amazing too.

 

[Oldermanish]

Roglic's legs look like Didier Cuche's!

PS: in the old picture with Beefy Tratnick.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So it looks like Rogla left Tenerife in a good shape, just in time for some racing. Looking forward to that.

P-N should be an interesting matchup, roglic off an altitude camp vs remco's racing form.

This guy SiempreGino looks almost as butthurt as you by all of the Rogla's magnificent stomps... Better get ready, he's gonna do a lot of them this year. After wheelsucking for hours and hours behind donkeys like Vinge and Remco

Maybe just look at it as a silly joke, instead of taking it so serious. You seem "butthurt" now.

Don't be so serious, it’s just a joke.

@Froome

Beautiful.

I am joking. Didn't you see a wink emoji at the end? Or is it less funny when Vinge gets called a donkey? See, the wink again

Iverson on Rogla.

 

[joseph89]

Roglic better not try that wheelsuck then stomp nonsense, remco has been working on his sprint with mvdp and thibau nys.

The TTT will probably decide the race.

 

[joseph89]

The TTT will probably decide the race.

Is it the same timing format as last year?

If it is, then SOQ will launch remco with 10km to go and they better have a split screen of remco vs bora

 

[Netserk]

Yes.

 

[joseph89]

Definitely think remco could toast a roglic, vlasov and sobrero 1v3 in the last 10km

Yeah, we could see that in Algarve.
