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

Tour is just one race out of many and Rogla should be supported in all races not just at Tour. Lipo was supported today on the ultimate climb. Once Rogla gets that i won't complain about the team support any more, then it's down to Rogla to deliver. Currently RBH doesn't provide that for Rogla and hence the critique.

Yeah, but to my way of thinking it's more watts than watts per kg on this climb. Just don't know if he has the pure wattage to stay with them. Could be, genuinely no idea. Whatever the case I can't imagine him losing more than a couple seconds, and should be in a group which can reel them back.

It's always relative, higher kg requires higher watts. It's the difference between weight and watts that determines net value, not absolute watts.

If the Tour is just one race, why did the complaining worsen during and after the 2025 edition even though he wasn’t even the best rider on his team?Currently he hasn’t been riding like he deserves that this season. He has much of a chance to win some races as I do, and that’s sad considering I have no name. That doesn’t remove all the hard work he received in the previous years.

The lower the slope angle, the more pure watts matter, and vice versa.

I will state my case, Bora, if you plan to contest TDF, you can't go with any rider occupying a spot other than Primoz" proven " Roglic.
If there is a TT or any kind at TDF, can't be anyone better to get a result. If you are doing the Tour, nobody is cooler, calmer and more collected than Roglic. Nobody can race better under no GC pressure than Primoz..Bora, no matter who you pick, there is nothing better to further their chance than Roglic, he won't win Giro or Vuelta, so why race to place? Put his skills behind best rider
If you are fleshing up a roster, comparing resumes and results, you can't leave Roglic on the sidelines
