Rogla Red Bull, it suits him.@James M
I know, as a matter of fact he delivered that baby and as such he likely is GOATs godfather. One reason on why he will be remembered as a true legend indeed is Rogla is one of the select riders that has beaten the GOAT on GTs. But lets not use the term GOAT too much in this thread, better to refer to Rogla as Bull. Considering his age he can even get away with dad jokes:
"He asked me how old I was and told me that at 21 he was still ski jumping" - Primoz Roglic takes Giulio Pellizzari under his wing at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe
Giulio Pellizzari was one of the breakout stars of the 2024 Giro d'Italia. Although a stage victory proved illusive, the Italian repeatedly shone in the high mountains and earned himself a World Tour...cyclinguptodate.com
Legendary stuff.

Exactly, you could say he is the godfather in many ways actually and will forever be linked in some way to him.@James M

Real note, results aside which are admirable aswell btw, Roglics ability to come back from crashes/setbacks, set of mindset when knocked down, and in general mindset outside cycling he is just a true rolemodel in my books, taking the age into consideration it gets more impressive imo and (if not for a certain historic rider he woulda won more aswell which is not a knock on him, in fact the opposite) but being a legend goes deeper than results alone.
Roglic is for me the definition of a true legend if were being real, and in more ways than results alone. Everyone should strive to have that mindset as him.

I'm a little late to the party but I think Rogla is a nice balance of pretty and handsome. He's got nice chiseled facial features that aren't too manly man, but he's not overly feminine either. I think he's definitely an attractive man.
(I'm too old to be a groupie though, I'll leave that to the younger folk.)

If both Pog and Vini skip the Giro, who are the other likely contenders to take it away from Roglic? If he comes in Vuelta 24 form, not many.

I'm a female and I find him almost as gorgeous as David Bowie who is the most gorgeous man I've ever seen in my 74 years. Both have that balance of handsome but not tooooo manly.

Bowie was a dish! (I'm a lady too and I was crushing on him when I was much younger.)
Getting somewhat back on track I'm stoked Rogla will be in the Giro! (My fave GT.)

Roglic saying he doesn't really expect to be competitive in Algarve.
'Ahhhh yah is not good ah the back is errrrrr very sore'
Over/Under is 3 stages.

Except it's Rogla who's the GOAT obviously according to @CyclistAbi (who prefers Bull nickname though). Unfortunately due to his crashes and misfortunes the Tour has been won by inferior riders in the last few years.
But nobody will remember that after Rogla's GT triple in 2025. Teddy will pursue circus career and Vingo will again become lord of the lobsters then.

Giro-Tour-Worlds should do in 2025 season, after fifth Vuelta and ToS likely to take take precedent, so other three to still get some chances.

Only Rogla is capable of that, and then to win his fifth, no other rider can do that. Pogi crashed, didn't win, Jonas crashed, didn't win, Remco crashed ... Only Rogla crashed and won. Likely he read somewhere crash and burn and due to his English translated that to crash and win. That works for me!
Pogi crashed this Tour, he had a flat and tried negotiating a turn.

That is not called crashing in Rogličes book, this is how he shaves.
P.S. I meant the crash from last year, that resulted in injury and not winning the Tour.

He said Giro comes too early, so we shouldn’t expect him. His goal is TDF
Thank you. I nearly broke Google searching! Merry Christmas

Not sure about Adam Yates at this point. Ayuso probably would have been tied favourite with Hindley, S Yates and possibly Carapaz had he raced here.
Simon is the interesting one for me. Vuelta winner before Rogla asserted his dominance there, has podiumed at the Giro with an average at best support cast at the time (a well past his best Nieve being the best domestique for Yates), maybe a team with Kruijswijk, Kelderman and Uijtdebroeks can deliver him a better result.
This is assuming Jonas skips it and then Yates, Kuss and Jorgensen are his domestiques for TDF

This is what most Slovenians listen to on New Year's Eve, especially at the midnight.
