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

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.

The subject is interesting with the side-by-side pictures with a ski jumper in what we can assume almost prime condition weight wise, having finished the career a month ago... because I remember Roglič being much happier with transition to cycling because as he said at the time "you don't have to care about eating too much"... but now he looks leaner than a ski jumper... poor Roglič, didn't know what he signed up for after all I guess.

I think he still eats a lot more than he used to, except now he burns much more calories on his typical training day than he did when he was a ski jumper. But yeah, he does look leaner than Prevc who won his last World Cup event a month ago, so he’s still as lean as they get…
