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

[Netserk]

Giving what sounds like a fairly common Serbian name to a Slovakian might not be well received...

 

[velaso montador]

I think people should just enjoy the show tbh.

There's nothing wrong with being 'first challenger to Pog' & I'm really proud of how Rog has built himself back to this level in his new team. Some people (in fact quite a few) said he was washed. Well, he gave a pretty emphatic response today. Vlasov looked good as well. He's like the new Kuss.

I don't care about Pog right now, i.e. I just want him to win the Dauphiné. That would be great.

Exactly your right. Also Roglic looks good he seems to be in great condition ahead of the tour which is great news and also with a bit of luck on his side he can easily win it.

Hes had plenty of unluck in years so deserves anything he get. Its hard to not like him too, bottom line is im glad hes in good spirit ahead of the tour so it all bodes well and I hope he also smiles in Paris. Great character in cycling all these years such is best to appriciate indeed.

 

[Carols]

I'm Very Happy to see Primoz in Yellow

 

[Netserk]

Froglic remains undefeated:

*Since being outsprinted by Alaphilippe, if you only count the green of points classifications.

 

[Rackham]

The irony is the Bora jersey he tore on Tuesday in his first crash will probably be the last Bora race jersey he ever wears. And other than the ITT in Itzulia, he never won in Bora 2024 colors.

Green yesterday & today, then yellow tomorrow (& hopefully Sunday), then Red Bull from the TdF onwards.

It's all about the little details (& superstitious stuff).

 

[zlev11]

Beating a 2011 record by 30s on a 30 minute climb isn't the best tbh.

yeah but if i remember correctly that was far and away the best climbing performance of 2011, possibly even of the entire decade. Rodriguez put out insane numbers that day.

Yeah apparently its 6.4 which is good

Had he attacked esrlier he would have won by a minute. He's keeping it cool, like the other Slovenian at the Giro.

 

[Gigs_98]

Mythical postman celebration is saved for the Tour.

I gotta be honest, I was a little disappointed when he rose his arms...

 

[Extinction]

Roglic looks leaner and meaner than ever. He's been vacuum sealed. Will it be enough to beat Pogi and, if he is fit, Jonas?

The world feels a better place when Rogla stomps like that. Beautiful!!!

Tbh when he raises his right hand to the sky it looks like he is scratching his balls with his left

Nothing...critics here extrapolate opinions multiplied by fan prejudice= opinions too fat to climb?
Jonas will not be a factor. That leaves a more open Tour so it'll be entertaining if Primoz rides the next stages like he can.
Again, it's test prep for the Tour. He needs to be his best a month from now. Remco does, too and he'll be a factor as deep as he can.

Jonas not being a factor would not make it a more open Tour, it would just mean Pogi would win easy. The gap between those 2 and the rest is just too big, even with them not having ideal preparations. Them at 90% will be better than Roglic. If Pogi or Jonas were here, they could put 2 minutes into the field and not be on the limit on that climb. And Remco doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation at all. He's less of a threat for the Tour than the likes of Carapaz

This is true.

Yes.

Beautiful win and team work. Bravo!

I had the personal opinion that he was too 'light' for Paris-Nice. Despite Sean Kelly calling him fat live on Eurorport I believe the opposite was actually true.

Rogla has skeletored himself since the end of the 2022 season (you don't win Monte Lussari or the Angliru with a fat butt) & now in the warmer June weather in the Alps on bigger climbs... he looked great IMO.

 

[Bolder]

Agree -- he looked like he had more in the tank. But he'll need to save it for the Tour.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Things are looking good for the Tour. A top2 favourite there. Is a Slovenian battle upon us, like in good old times?

 

[Extinction]

Oh, yea, this is just the dress rehearsal. If he's still undercooked at the end of the Dauphine, he will be a real beast at the Tour.

 

[SHAD0W93]

New team, same Roglic now. Hopefully we have a fun Tour battle between everyone.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Congrats but can't cheer for him when he rides like a mountain sprinter. A pity because he is so likeable off the bike.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Barely beating Gee, Lazkano, Jorgenson and Ciccone in the most boring fashion ever on an insanely hard climb. Boring and conservative and not really that scary, but a win is a win

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic leading 3 classifications again, probably hungover tomorrow
