Lol at the statement quoted by Serious Sam. This guy is unbelievable.

Re:

After approximately ten kilometres, I lost my computer and my bottle. I indicated to my sport director to pick my computer but I'm not sure if he understood what I was telling him. I also lost motivation and I decided to take it easy. But I was feeling fantastic uphill so I just pushed and pushed for the fun of it. I was really slow and unlucky at the beginning but very fast and lucky at the end because I only felt a drop or two while the riders after me got the pouring rain. This is strange, very strange.

This guy will win the Giro someday.

Johnny: Thank god I didnt!! Monetas, baby. Love you Roggy.

Hes a bit of an enigma isnt he. I hope they allow him to go into breakaways, would be a shame to squander these legs playing babysitter for Kruijswijk.

Probably most guys reaction after they saw who won.
But tbh what a transfer by Lotto-Jumbo, what a Giro so far!

Re: Re:

The Jamie Vardy of cycling

I think that's pretty unfair. Vardy was always a footballer, but suddenly became a good one late on. Roglič didn't start cycling until very late so it's not surprising he's a late bloomer. And also, his performance this year isn't very surprising at all to those who followed his progress at Adria Mobil, quite a few of us were demanding he get to go to the WT and do the Giro during the 2015 season.

My comment wasnt made in pure seriousness, to be fair. I did actually follow Roglic closely last season (he first caught my eye in Settimana Coppi e Bartali when he was riding well in a solo break and I found his history intriguing and started following him from there on) so I know about his talent. I wasnt too surprised to see him on the WT stage (I had never thought it would be LottoNL though) and I was happy to see him perform well at Algarve already.

His tt prowess has been a revelation nonetheless. He rode very decently in Algarve and Tirreno but that was nothing compared to what he has shown in this Giro. If he could show his climbing legs later in the race as well it would be fantastic. I really want him to succeed and Im genuinely excited to see how far he can go.

 

[Escarabajo]

Great win by Roglic. So he is a Ski jumper? And now rides a bicycle and he is s force in TT.

 

[KubaWinter]

He also rode on his spare bike as his first one was too long and not approved by UCI commissaries. Great guy for cycling!

What?!

What a scary guy!

 

[KubaWinter]

The best is that he could easily go 20-30 seconds faster. At least. He made a lot of mistakes on his way. With some more experience in WT ranks he's going to be a true monster.

He's going to race Tour de Pologne and Rio afterwards.

Re: The official Primož Roglič is the new Landa thread

This guy is amazing!!!

 

[RedheadDane]

Uhm... guess we need to find another The new [x rider] title for him. Seem a bit better than Landa in the TTs.










(Found a video of his ski jumping accident. That's some scary *** right there! )

Today was something special for sure. So happy for Rogla.

Fantastic. He is so cool

 

[SeriousSam]

Roglic is clearly making fast progress for himself, too, telling reporters after his Giro stage win on Sunday that he had never ridden more than 10 kilometres in an individual time trial before, at either professional or amateur level.

lol

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Well, the Volta ao Algarve TT this year was 18km, but apart from that, it looks like he's correct, that's the only one longer than the 8,8km Tour de Slovénie TT from the last couple of years.

Coupled with the quote you posted earlier, I seriously can't believe it.... imagine him actually having motivation, riding on his own bike, not losing his bottle and SRM and riding his time trial bike a little more.

Either he had an extremely good day or he is just so insanely, freakishly talented. Let him prepare for next year and watch him go Uran Uran Uran Uran 2014 on them

Have you seen the pic on his blog with the borrowed MTB??!!

Re:

Haha I saw that.

"Thank you for the congratulations, and one more thing: the picture is taken few years back, when I started one of my first recreational climbs. In a way that is where my road started on a borrowed MTB and it is very good to see, what fascinating things life sets for you, if you are brave enough to take the road. I have better equipment now, that is sure!"

 

[Stelvio92]

haha, he definetely looks determinated, or more angry!

Do you think he's joined the ranks of the elite TTers for good, or do you expect the Giro performances to be a two time thing only?

"but the plan for the next stages stays the same – fight fight fight!"

Go Rogla!

How do you cheer somebody on in Slovene?

Definately put him the break upcoming week. He has a shot at winning a stage and the break gets reeled in he can still do some work for Steven.

Extraordinary talent
Definitely at team sky for next year
I hope he can win another stage. Go rogla!

I think he still has a contract with LottoNL for next year.
