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...

Thanks!
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.
It‘s eleven kilometers longer as well this year, which means Roglič will abruptly die in the last lap when he reaches 210 kilometers
I don't believe in cycling this year
I feel the same. I miss sky days.
That's a copyright violation you'll be hearing from my lawyers
Oh c'mon, don't do that.....i guess i am not a "luck merchant".
Winning Il Lombardia a couple of days after his era ended would be so Rogla, though. We'll see.
According to some top CN forum experts Rogla basically retired in 2022. Good for him that he still can win races during his retirement.
That's because Roglic created the long range defence, something innovative in cycling, who helped him win in retirement.
