It should not affect GT choice. That said, doing it after Giro seems much harder these days than before

If Pog and Vinge focus on the TdF next year, then the Giro is a no brainer. Go for it.
At this point in his career he needs the mental clarity and self-awareness... to basically clean up wherever he can.
I said before, during and after the Tour: winning stuff is better than losing stuff. So Vuelta > a TdF Podium, likewise another Giro win next year would be an amazing achievement.

Sorry but it doesn't matter if he wins all 7 one week stage races because there is no Tour in his palmares. A shame btw, he will never win a Tour when riders like Bernal won one year earlier from his terrible loss in France

Doesn't matter to who? To you? He isn't doing it for you. He's doing it for himself, to write himself another time in the history books.

Even if he wins, he will need the Tour to complete what is trying to achieve, winning all important stage races.

There's a list of all big 1-week WT races, no one has ever won all 7. Apparently based on that interview he's going for it, he only needs Suisse.
Says who? This performance hasn't been done even by Merckx/Hinault etc. As for Tour the evolution of the mutants kinda *** him over. Bernal has Tour/Giro yet in GC tier list he is far behing Rog all-time. Tour is overrated only by casual fans. Fans who follow cycling know the level and how races are won.
Why? He's not trying to be some all time great. Just a great rider that did something nobody else managed to achieve. Clearly he is not at the level of those like Contador, Froome
, Armstrong, Indurain etc

I'm not sure that means he won't ride the Tour. Maybe just that he won't submit the whole season to it. I don't know how would Denk & co. react if Primož says he doesn't want to ride the Tour...

To me, it sounded like going for the Tour, but with no big fanfare and that not being the one big season goal.

Not surprising since nibali is the best rider of this century (behind pogacar) and better than roglic

Lol.
I would make that even Pereiro, Sastre, Abandony Schleck, Evans, Wiggins, Thomas and Bernal won a Tour before "omg Nibali won one"

Evans is the guy I forget to include cuase he's 1st on my list and I forget I didn't already add him.

I guess Suisse as a Dauphine replacement fits well enough.
With how he talks about some new challenges I might expect him to focus more on the Ardennes than the Itzulia's for this world. Maybe throw in Sanremo because yolo.
The other idea he's floated is to do all 3 GTs in a season, but I guess he'd wait with that one more year.

id like to see him have one more shot at TDF GC and then do all three GT's the next year, ride for GC at the Giro and Vuelta, stage wins at the TDF.
Soon Rogla and out hearts to stomp again. This year the main goal is Il Lombardia, anything more than that will be a bonus.
Go Rogla!
Go Rogla!

He doesn't need to win the Tour, to be the most beloved man in slovenia.
The Tour doesn't define Rogla any more and that is a victory by itself. Still, why not, on Rogličes terms, though.
Hopefully the form will be there already, four times Emilia winner, four time Vuelta winner ... sounds exactly as something Rogla would do. To end the season with an autumn hat-trick? Still, this season it's important to win Il Lombardia and hence maybe there will need to be sacrifices made for that. On the other hand who knows on how the legs will respond, after two good training blocks. Maybe first (mini) peak is indeed here already and Rogla to stomp all the goats tomorrow. We'll see.

Rogla has tempting odds for Emilia, up to 4. Like an underdog. Pogi is in form and can win it but Roglstomp is a realistic scenario as well.
This dawg always played it cool. Most of news site don't even mention Rogla specifically, reminds me of that barely a top ten climber list.
Journalism is mostly crap, betting odds are crap.
