I don’t think that’s accurate. His operation was definitely done in Slovenian University Medical Center and was probably covered by our standard (universal) health insurance. I don’t think it was the same doctor though…
I'm trying to remember if there was another crash beside the No Risk, No Glory crash that caused that idea.
I miss it a lot too. It takes the sting out of a lot of descents.Yes, I don't think Pogacar is particularly good there, either. Sometime, I think commemtstors just decide at random that rider x or y is a good descender based on absolutely nothing.
I really miss the supertuck
I don‘t get that sentiment either but I think you brought that idea up more often than anybody actually defends it. Maybe it‘s a commentator thing, but coming back to Roglič he had the Paris-Nice crash and the Giro 2019 crash on the Como stage, which is more than most others have but it isn‘t really an excessive problem.
IMO there's multiple aspects of bike handling that sort of tend to get pooled together, and not all riders are great or bad at all aspects of bike handling.
I didn't really need a refresh that stage is on my VCR
But Thanks!
I remember this perfectly. That's when I was hoping that he would grab the podium from Froome. And something about him made me think that he was the next big thing.
We do? I remember Dumoulin being quite angry after Roglic dropped him on a descent to win a TDF stage
Pogi showed in the Tour last year that his descending is nothing special. He's quite good at positioning, and staying on the bike in general, but his descending isn't a weapon.

Major Tom had no shot at a podium, Primoz was going for one!We do? I remember Dumoulin being quite angry after Roglic dropped him on a descent to win a TDF stage
I don't know which descent is that, but if it's the one in the video, Major Tom was 2nd at Tour 2018.
My bad, but all I really remember about the 2018 Tour was Thomas won
and I fell in love with Primoz 
I also remember the follow up complaints by Dumoulin and Froome that Roglic was aided by the camera bike. This clearly shows in every pan-back shot the bike was completely away from any draft position just trying not to be overtaken. When they hit the flat 4km run in, it was behind him and he still put time into the pursuing field that included Geraint, Chris and Tom; all handy TTers. I also remember some similar descending episodes in the first stage race in Romandie that was broadcast available. The commentators didn't focus on him until he'd done some serious bridging efforts and, if I recall it was the first time I'd heard reference to his prior ski-jumping skills.

I'm not saying he held a grudge ever since...So much anger:
Don't remember any of that.
