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

Page 752 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
I do not know what to make of what he said about the plan for today and the team. Was he joking? I do not think so. Also, he rarely is so direct and he rarely says something in these interviews and today he did. The only other time when he was saying something substantial was last year's Vuelta.
Maybe I am overthinking it and he was being playful...
The other time it was "ah well my team just started to pull ah". Obviously along with the "ah its better to win time than lose 2 minutes" or "ah yes a nice win, now in the lead, thats better than being 5 minutes behind"

Of course it was Roglic telling them to chase and get an easy break up the road. He wanted to win on a perfect stage for him. Riders just don't start randomnly pulling, and the DS just doesn't say out of the blue ah well lets chase.

No mention of the back though. If he says his back is hurt now Im losing it
 
It's like he's reached a later level in an RPG and he recently unlocked 'MTF rage mode' or something like that allowing for a long ranger from the bottom to the top of a unipuerto stage.

the way Red Bull (& Martinez) obliterated the bunch at the foot of the climb was delirious stuff.

I'm so happy for him to be able to do that & win this thing with style.
Dani Martinez has pulled like 5 minutes all Vuelta and is still the MVP

You cannot lose what you already lost.

If Roglič and Martinez don't go to Fleche next year I'll lose it.

Went back to farm the lower levels at the beginning of the game.
