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

Crashes can do that. If Pog and UAE back off the Vuelta then maybe something. Much else will be a welcome surprise.

Hmm, good question. I would think December, whenever they invite press.

EDIT: last year, Roglic’s schedule was announced 14th of December

RBH media day is on December 10th and I expect Primož will announce his schedule then.

Likely indeed before Christmas it is then. Was thinking that Remco won't officially be part of the RBH family before January but indeed that likely won't interfere with schedule being announced already in December.

"For Rogla just about anything stage racing orientated and beyond is realistic"

No, it isn't and you know it

Of course it is.

Q: Which races will you do?
A: Those Tadej and Remco don't

No, the only things interfering with him winning the Tour are Pogi, Vingo, Remco and age.

And Lipo, and Seixas, and...

All that aside I think he'll have a better year than last year.

Well, in terms of the Tour this can go two ways, for Rogla. Either he won't have it and will help the best teammate out, our he will be the best one in RBH and the team will help him out. Without such strong team chances are slim anyway. RBH is now at bare minimum in terms of AAA status, they can play with UAE and Visma just fine. Even impose their own game if desired.

I hope so, I'm a fan. But a realistic one.

Good luck.

RBBH isn't that strong. All they can do is to trying follow as long as possible. I don't think Rogla will race the TdF, he managed getting to Paris and he's happy with that.
