For me indurain was boring, but he was a winner. I'm talking about styles of racing. I like riders that are winners but also offensive, that attack from far.

Nothing wrong with that. Considering you are a fan of a cyclists with an attacking style. Then you should in my opinion enjoy the outcome either way. Considering both Rogla and Jonas are doing the Tour 2024.

The thing with 80km solo attacks is, well, it tells something about the quality of the field too. So from time to time it's for sure a nice and enjoyable thing to watch. But when the top tier talent gathers, then that can tend to paint a rather bad picture. If it happens too often.

Tour 2024 in my opinion won't have much of that.

2024 starts now, and Primoz and Bora are clear about what’s ahead.

Primoz won eight of the nine major one-week stage races. He won Giro and Vuelta. He was Olympic Champion in cycling TT and World Champion as a junior in ski jumping. He won LBL.

So:

All Primoz has to do at Bora Hansgrohe, is:

Win the Tour de Suisse.
Win the Tour de France.
Win Il Lombardia.

If he manages this, he can peacefully retire. Although I hope he keeps racing still for a very long time.

Which ones are the two extra on top of the seven major historic ones? UAE Tour and Tour of Slovenia?

Very good comment, and I have to apologize, and to correct myself:

There are indeed seven major one-week tours, of which Primoz already won six.

As I just saw on PCS, he plans his participation in TdS for 2024, which is very good. Should have a realistic chance to win it. Most top guys prefer to ride Dauphine.

Yeah, Tour de Suisse should normally be very Roglic friendly. Undulating time trials and usually not crazy amounts of high mountains.

There was a discussion here about the big one-week stage races and Roglic's record in them a few weeks ago. Nobody is even close to his dominance in these races. If he wins all of them, that will be an achievement that will probably not be repeated for a long, long time. Unless someone like Pogacar really puts his mind to it and makes it a goal.

@CyclistAbi you failed today. I thought it would be you posting this pic of roglic. Now, you are not the fan number one of roglic anymore.

There's a few 'number one Rogla fans' tbh. We are legion.

BTW I think the new Bora jersey looks pretty cool, especially out on the road. Here's Danny van Poppel in the full gear:

It should be easily spottable in the bunch on tv.

When looking at currently known schedules ToS kind of makes the most sense to me. That is avoiding the other three biggest rivals, regarding Tour, and still doing some stage racing, together with the new team. Feels like a good preparation race for the Tour 2024. Compared to lets say doing Dauphne, where Jonas and Remco will for sure make the racing harder and more stressful. For that, there will still be the Tour.
