It appears he's in good shape:

'His training is producing really good numbers' – Roglič recovered from Itzulia injuries, builds toward Tour de France

I said I was longing back for the Sky days and Rogla brings me right back to talking about his personal best training numbers

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

The sensations are muy bueno.

 

[ice&fire]

You may find best training numbers ever in any random post from Contador between 2013 and 2017.

There's no real relevance here. It's simply Aldag confirming Rog has recovered from Itzulia (i.e. for example he doesn't have knee problems). He's doing recon rides & going to altitude in a few days. So it's totally... on.

I can't wait for the Dauphiné tbh. There's a 34km ITT which should be good testing ground for the Specialized gear.

I think the main factor skipping races are not current injuries but possibility that Jonas will not race Tour or will not be 100% and Pogi will have Giro (with or without crashes) in legs. Roglič and team want to be 120% prepared and not risking new injuries. This year is once in a life time (career) chance to win Tour.

Or maybe 2020 was.

 

[CyclistAbi]

I do believe the numbers are good and will only get better. No way has Rogla aimed at 110% for his spring campaign, such effort and training block is reserved for the Tour. As for his "only" chance(s). Lets not forget Rogličes chances last year were exactly 0%. As he wasn't selected into the Tour team. So chances should be slightly higher this year and beyond.

I'd give him 2%

Deal. Rogla would have settled with 1%, he doesn't need more.

I think ppl are underestimating Roglic this year and he might very well be stronger than he has in years. The TT in Itzulia was like prime Roglic or atleast incredible good. Think he lost closer to 20sec than 15 on that missturn too. having to break down and start from scratch etc

 

[Rob5091]

As it is today, Roglic seems to be the top contender against the G.O.A.T. at the Tour.
edit add- I wonder if Bora are hopping it'll be 30C every day for the last two weeks of the Tour.

 

[velaso montador]

Also think ppl are overestimating Pogs chances in the Tour a little. For me the Giro-Tour double is more than X's and O's, its more than that and harder and just like inflation more sticky than the data shows, same here. Seen it time and time again before.

I'm completely biased anyway but I totally believe Rog will compete for victory in July.

I'm not a futurologist so I can't say he'll win but IMO he'll absolutely be in the fight for yellow. I like the look of that final stage ITT as well.

I agree, I think Vingegaard, Pogacar, Roglic and Evenepoel will all compete for victory. Mostly due to Vingegaard not going to be 100% ready, Pogacar feeling the Giro, and thus reducing the gap with Roglic/Evenepoel

Yes he does.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Well if Jonas will really be pushing for the Tour, then in my opinion that slightly increases the chance we will get to see a double this year.

Jonas Tour Vuelta

 

[dazaau]

Yes he does.

What do you mean, 1% chance just means he has to race it for 50 years and he is 50/50 to bag the missing yellow

I can't wait for the tour, shaping up to be one of the greats and this is as good a chance as Roglic could ever have hoped for.

I don't think you know how probabilities work

Actually he would need to race for ~69 years to have that 50/50 chance.

I think you care too much, but not enough to know the answer or educate anyone it seems? You see, like you I do not come here to do maths, but rather write general thoughts about cycling without thinking too much.

It was a general point with some humour that 1% is a bit tough and that Roglic is too old for that. Though CyclistsAbi is making the point Roglic is the master of his own destiny.

But sure, it's a 39.5% chance over 50 years, you got me. And if he raced it 100 times he would still not be certain to win.

"write general thoughts about cycling without thinking too much." Hey! That's my shtick!

I think it's you who cares too much and @Red Rick was just being humorous and not really assaulting your cognitive abilities...
