It's just the timing of Pogacar really. Without Pog Roglic basically wins 3 GTs in 4 attempts (doesn't do 2020 Vuelta) with a crash out in the Tour. Also in hindsight going Giro/Tour in 2019 looks like the worst scheduling decision in the history of scheduling decisions.True. Roglic just doesn't have the important GT wins and almost mythical racing style to give him a Contador-like status. It affects the level of support you're likely going to get as a rider.
Roglic does have a cult-like following, but it's quite small compared to Contador's fanbase, or even Van Aert's.
I think it's fairly likely that Roglic will be the greatest ever GT rider without a TdF win by the end of his career.
