Dekker_Tifosi said:Yeah that's kinda rich. They did a bad TTT but aside from that Roglic himself got himself dropped in echelons a few times because he was not attentive.
He also got dropped on La Rosiere because he was not good enough. And dropped again on Alpe because he was not good enough. And lost another minute in the time trial because he was not good enough.
That is no shame, and considering it's his 2nd Tour there's a lot of room for improvement. But blaming the team seems kinda out of style?
And he lost only 13 seconds on Alpe because of tactical games in front of him and Nibali dragging him to the finish after the crash.Dekker_Tifosi said:Yeah that's kinda rich.

We'll see how he does at one day classics!

That type of course should suit him well. The problem is, as is for all the others that rode the tour, fatigue. If he can recover enough, he can be a player, for sure.
Yes. Usually the best riders in CSS are those who finish strongly the Tour and Roglic is certainly one of them. He said in a post Tour interview that he honestly doesn't even feel that tired and said that last year he was feeling way worse after the Tour. Last year he finished in the first chasing group (sprinting for 7th place) and this year he is riding on a whole new level. I'd be surprised if he doesn't fight for the victory there. He should be considered among the top favourites, maybe only behind Alaphilippe and Valverde.Leinster said:BullsFan22 said:Carols said:Lequack said:Apparently he's also riding the San Sebastian classic on Saturday.

Isn't the winner of CSS, more often than not, straight from the Tour? And usually a good ride at it, too?
