Why not do fleche man there is literally nobody to win it without him, we gonna get like skejmose vs Vlasov. Last 2 years he skipped spring races to focus on Le tour, it didn't go well
Without the crash he would definitelly race. But with a sore knee (we all know how things went when he raced Itzulia 2022 with an injured knee) the risk is a lot higher.
On the other hand I think that with top-form Vinge out of the picture and Pogačar doing the Giro, the team and Roglič thought, damn, we actually have a good chance at the Tour. Now let us do everything possible to maximize that chance.
I do regret him not being at F-W, because it would be a crime for him to not win that at least once in his career. For LBL I am more indifferent. He has already won it once and realistically, there is no way he is beating pre Giro Pog on a 250km monument. I was hoping he might add Romandie, but healing all the injuries is the priority.
Dauphine route is very nice, and with no Vinge and questionable a Remco (will he even go there now, or will he rather just prepare for the Tour?), it is a perfect chance to build some confidence, get a win or three under the belt and prepare for the big one in July.
