Time to spruce up the Roglromp-er Room.Not sure this has been posted yet but there is another mini Roglic on the way![]()
Looking much better today, hopefully that was just a day off. I’m still a bit worried by the form of his team. Maybe that’s why they weren’t pacing? Gesink being the best of them at finish doesn’t feel right...
Also, a little disappointed that neither Ineos nor Movistar tried to put more pressure on Quickstep. Definitely expected more from our "partners in crime".
P.S. Wait, was that some mistake in data? I could swear I saw Gesink’s name somewhere in the top-10 (was quite surprised, frankly) and now he disappeared!
Roglic doesn't seem to be that bad, the W/kg he pushes is inline with what he pushed before, just that there are now few guys pushing more at this point in time in the Vuelta.
Even on stage 6 his W/kg are not far off what he normally does for 30minutes efforts (+6W/kg) and today seem to be inline with his normal best performances. (6.3-6.4W/kg) for this duration (don't know his drag advantage though, but still).
Stage 6 was really low. Today was good but he's done more.Roglic doesn't seem to be that bad, the W/kg he pushes is inline with what he pushed before, just that there are now few guys pushing more at this point in time in the Vuelta.

But still you could see he was hurting doing it!

Estimates for stage 6 varied super wildly though
Good to see him bouncing back and to be there with the best on stage 8. Rather smart riding today. Not spending team too much. Just hanging on and still gaining in regards to other favorites.
It shows Evenepoel and his team trained hard for this race during the past couple of months. And all the details he is investing in it do indeed show daily. Roglič on the other hand wasn't in that bad form but still was severely injured, made babies and trained for real for about two weeks.
After today's performance i feel that Roglič is starting to take a hold of this race. Tomorrow is big day. JV likely taking more initiative. Neutralizing Alaphilippe. Kuss to be there.
And hopefully a little bit of Roglstomp in our lives.
Was it specified that it was Covid, or was he 'just' sick with fever?Kuss down to Covid19 :/
Rogla just can't catch a break...
Eurosport just saying it’s not confirmed yet as COVID. Just fever for now.Was it specified that it was Covid, or was he 'just' sick with fever?

He didn't need Jonas in Dauphine.Primoz will struggle without Wout, Jonas, or Sepp in the race to bail him out. He's needed both Wout and Jonas to power him to wins on the last stage of two week long races this year.
