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

[Rackham]

I knew he was going to try to follow. It's like the only thing that motivated him in coming to Romandie was "I'm gonna jump when Pog jumps".

Other than that, not much to see.

Looked great for 7 seconds following Pogacars first attack.

Vuelta is so in the bag.

Today some guys got closer to the Sun than Rogla and didn't burn though.

I mean to me it's pretty obvious he was not in the top 5 climbers today. It is what it is.

The feeling is that if a cyclist of a certain leve goes to the Vuelta, he won't win it.

Luckily for him, since the World Championships are in Canada, after the Tour many of them will opt for the preceding Canadian classics.

Considering Rogla is sixth in GC, 32s down on race leader and Lipo second, 7s down on race leader, that is rather good outcome, some predicted much worse. Rogla could easily follow Pogi, on when he went, nobody else could do that. Returning to Lipo and helping him bridge across and riding in chasing group. That is rather sensible strategy, especially considering RBH was fantastic in term of tactics and it almost came together again. Tuckwell was there in the group, so that is that. RBH still has reserves and for example with Remco they could have bridged today and likely to win a stage, being in such position. Climber section still has huge reserves.

All in all i am happy and lets race and win this thing.

I saw a thumbnail of Pogacar and Roglic in rain jackets - did it pour down early in the day?

If so it's miracle he finished.

Well Roglic refused to sprint in the end, didn´t he? I find it kind of strange that he didn´t even tried to sprint...

 

[red_flanders]

What's wrong with you people, nobody understands sarcasm anymore? Maybe you should read the previous comments and you'll understand what my post was about. My god, chillax

Sorry bruh. I'm super chillaxed now.

Part of RBH for sure, that is doesn't want Rogla winning any more, as they would rather see some other rider do that instead and for Rogla to support such goals.

Huh.

Seems like maybe other riders are just better at this point, despite random nonsensical conspiracy theories.

That’s not what happened

What for should he sprint? Why would that be a good idea?

Nah, Rogla is not worse. Currently it's just that they are still finding themself, as a team. On how they rode today, if they would all be practicing that together till the start of the season, then today a RBH rider would IMHO win a stage.

We'll get there, today was a good sign it's coming.

Literally.

Rogla couldn't follow.

@AmRacer

Of course, that is on why he is currently sixth.
