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

This is exactly what national coach announced today. Goal is two medals and ITT will be done by Rogla and in RR they will bet on Pog.
Was this stated by the coach or is it your intepretation? I was reading the transcription, looking for hints (who they would focus on in RR) but was unable to find any. It appeared to me they would both be leaders in RR, but I'm not sure I had the entire interview, though...

Since he stated Rogla will have TT specific training I interpreted that Pog is "the man" for RR and Rogla will be there as a dark horse.

Our beloved human.
 
Why does the Spanish newspaper Marca refer to Roglic as the Colorado King? Do they confuse him with Sepp Kuss?

Since "colorado" doesn't have capital "C" it was probably not meant as a geographical location. I don't speak Spanish but internet says colorado also means "coloured red", which kind of makes sense given that word "colour" is of latin origin. It looks like "coloured" here refers to your skin being coloured (red) instead of pale - that's why coloured implies red as well? Any Valverde fans that can confirm this?

I don't speak Spanish either but I think Google's autogenerated English translation of the title, at least, is poor. If I manually translate I get: "the red king who skipped all the problems like when he was a ski jumper"- "red king" would make sense seeing as he has won so many red jerseys he could probably sew a whole quilt with them.

It should be warm and full of people, yet, he's cold and alone. Where did he go?
Oh and i think his 3rd career should be modelling. Just put a fence around the runway and he should be fine.
I can see Rogla modeling, he's a good-looking lad. And I can also see him crashing into the rows of photographers when he's strutting the runway, so putting some padded fences around it I think is a good idea.
