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

[CyclistAbi]

Considering there will likely be a strong mountain train involved he better perform good, otherwise Bora will likely drop him.

 

[AmRacer]

That too, but with that TT in it I can’t see Evenepoel lose. Otherwise I also don’t see him beat Roglic in the TDF

I recon, neither Rogla or Remco would be in top shape at Dauphine. It could be tricky for either of them to win the GC.

Likely Rogla to become a long ranger at Bora so ultimately we can merge the threads.

Yup, I agree, but we need evidence first. Until then, we can post separately for now.

Come to think of it did Rogla and Pogi ever raced on the same race or are they the same person? Hum.

Now this is getting hilarious. @CyclistAbi may be using some PEDs, we need doping controls.

Slovenian Job in trying to steal every big race on the calendar for their country. Mohoric playing a supporting role.

Both should be close to it I hope. They come straight from altitude and TDF starts 3 weeks after Dauphine ends. They should be in decent shape, and in such a shape they both should be able to win.

Rogla and Remco on a stealth reconnaissance mission.

So it looks like Pogi will be the one, the main rival to tackle this year at the Tour. If and when we get to there. Considering Pogi doesn't seem to have any apparent weakness to exploit, beyond predictable desire to win it all and to not hold back, likely best to not overcomplicate things. Prepare to be the best version, team hopefully to follow the lead and then lets just race. Personally i would likely sacrifice stomps to be fresher at the final ITT. Beyond that plan A likely being not to lose time deep into the race and to take it should a opportunity arise.

Dauphiné hopefully on where Rogla to have some fun as the Tour will be more about pleasure.

 

[Berniece]

How’s he doing and where he at? Still at altitude or back home?

Indeed, time to wake the sleeping giant.

P.S. Mostly training.

That doesn't really answer @Berniece's questions.

Still at altitude. Next is Dauphine and then back to altitude (Tignes probably) until the Tour.

 

[Froome]

He is still in Sierra Nevada.

 

[dercuforever]

Bora will have a really strong field for the TDF, Roglic, Hindley and Vlasov are no joke. I guess Buchmann will have the vuelta for him since he was denied Giro. That's
I'm rooting for Roglic to at least avoid crashes this time and have last year's Vuelta form.
I'll always remember him having to relocate his shoulder on that chair, then chase almost alone on that cobble stage, without giving up.

 

[Sandisfan]

He is still in Sierra Nevada.

Did he stop to write his name in the snow?

That reminds me of the guy skying his mountain bike over the peleton in the 2019 Tour.

Only in his shorts on the way over...

You mean the Tour will be all bizness.
Pogacar will start feeling the mega pressure if anyone's near him entering the last week. The most likely candidate at this point would be Primoz but it'd be great if there were several candidates seriously in the mix to complicate tactics. That's my hope, anyway.

That was Primož too.

Yeah i was hoping for the duo to have a common goal, crack Jonas and keep Remco at bay. But it is what it is, they will need to take a swing against each other. If nothing else we will get the battle we hoped for at Tour 2021 and that is great too, especially considering Visma already tried to retire Rogličes ambition, to win the Tour. Luckily that didn't pan out and we can now, years after, still enjoy the aftermath.

Rogla
Needs a Angrilu style watt bomb plus 10%. Can’t see him losing the tour if he drops it

Na vrh Vršiča s ponyjem spet najhitreje Luka Kovačič

Pony kolo, retro duh in vršiški klanec. Že desetič zapored so številni kolesarji "pognali hudiča na vrh Vršiča". Zmagovalec je bil spet turni smučar in gorski tekač Luka Kovačič.

After some serious racing in Slovenia, time to relax again and lets see on how Dauphiné goes. Hopefully both Rogla and Bora a cut above the rest.
