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

[CyclistAbi]

I hope Primoz rests up and shows off his superior tan lines on the rest day. I'll be happy if he gets to Paris unscathed and top 5 position. Do you guys think he'll go to the Vuelta this year? I'm not sure he'll be great in the 3rd GT in a year, but you never know with Rogla. He's a beast and I have a new appreciation for this guy.

Currently a bit of well deserved rest then further mentoring Lipo and performing good in week three, that is all there is to it, other things an afterthought.

Roglic has never performed well relative on these stages relative to how good he was on unipuertos or just in general rather fresh efforts. Thats not even a question lol and when you get older and mybe isnt at 100% (who knows) that certainly doesnt help either. That has always been his weakness and is indisputable

Rather strange point of view considering we are talking about a cyclists who basically is GOAT MTF sprinter.

I think and I hope that he'll go.

If Roglic doesn't do the Vuelta he might as well call it a season

 

[acm]

Of course he won't do the Vuelta, that was never a plan this year.

 

[veganrob]

Let's be real, 100% Rog would eat Lipo for breakfast. But he's far from 100%...

But what is a 100% Roglic going forward

It's rather pointless to discuss this ATM, that is week 3 is just around the corner and lets see on how the duo performs.

Is there anything left to do this season? Only somewhat realistic option I see is the TT in Kigali.

 

[CyclistAbi]

@skippo12

Plenty but first to chill a bit and the day after Mont Ventoux!

P.S. I am so grateful for that.

 

[dazaau]

Why would Rog at 35 be rocking up to his third GT this year to line up against Jonas and Pog. Screw that I say.

Rock up at loads of end of season lesser races to get that win count over the magic number.

To je resnična vrednost Primoža Rogliča

Letošnji Tour de France je v znamenju fenomenalnega Tadeja Pogačarja, ki kolesari v svoji ligi. Vsa pozornost je uperjena vanj in na njegove izjemne predstave na kolesu. A si posebno pozornost v luči razpleta Toura zasluži tudi 35-letni Primož Roglič, ki je veliki mentor nadarjenemu Florianu...

MVP.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So big day ahead tomorrow, stage win and moving up in GC at play. Looking forward to that.

What does this say?

In the Remco thread, there’s a lot of discussion about Remco’s crashes and his hurt shoulder significantly holding him back from being clearly above everyone but Pog, which, ok maybe. But it’s interesting that many of those same people blame Roglic for his crashes and take it for granted that his crashes haven’t limited his ability to tap into his potential, unlike Remco. Roglic has had shoulder issues for years. You’d think if you’re making an argument that levels Remco up hypothetically, you’d grant Roglic the same…

Some rest day summer time reading, best to use translator if interested.

Yeah, standard BS, you have to say something in a diss attempt. Used to be age and similar.

Remco and his fans always have an excuse, even before he puts up a bad performance.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I mean, honestly, a lot of it is legit, it’s just selectively applied. He undoubtedly has lesser palmares than he would without some disruptions. But the same is true of others, like Roglic (since we are on the Roglic page).

they're still bellyaching about his Dauphine crash, which was his own fault. you know who would probably have a Tour win without a bad Dauphine crash? Roglic.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Long time since we been here, third week of the Tour de France. Lets make it count.

 

[Red Rick]

Vuelta isn't happening guys, and for good reasons. In fact, there's only one reason to go and that's if you have the bucket list item of doing all 3 GTs in a year, which Rog did mention at one point. But that also reads like one of these "never gonna happen" ideas.

What you do is you go home, you go on a 2 week vacation with the family, you get home, you start training again, and do some racing in the fall season centered around the WC ITT, maybe the Euro's, Lombardia, with maybe Tour of Luxemburg in there to try and get some wins too.

I think it's more the combination of all crashes and the amount of time off the bike. Roglic was never extremely long off the bike. Roglic seems to heal extremely well, or not crash that hard when he crashes.

Crashing with DNF is quite hard

Really? I feel like I have been told throughout the last 5 years that Roglic heals like a granny. His fans always points to crashes, even relatively minor ones, when explaining why he did poorly on a given climb/race and some of that might be true. And yes guys, Im obviously not referring to 2021 and 2022 TdF crashes

I meant more in the long term. Obviously if he crashes during TDF, it has an effect on the TDF. But clearly has no effect on his performance during the Vuelta of the same year.

Rogla was able to win the Vuelta whilst not being at his best.
