I don’t need the Remco energy, thank you.This topic? You haven't been here in a while I guess?
Rogla is zen, so I will be too. Why not, eh?

I generally agree. However, this is a bit of a specific situation. Both him and his team have extra motivation to show the move was a good one (for both sides). I think it’s very important for Bora Roglic starts winning ASAP even if they won’t say it out loud. Imagine a season where he wins nothing, gets super prepared for the Tour and crashes out in stage 3. Being paid 5,5 mil… it would be a disaster…

To be fair, you have to have a very high cycling IQ to be a fan of Primoz Roglic. His entertainment is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of advanced cycling strategy most of the spectacle he provides will go over a typical viewer's head. There is also Primoz' stoic outlook, which is deftly woven into his interviews. It draws heavily from his former skijumping career for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depth of these standard interview answers, to realize they're not just both intentionally and unintentionally funny - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Primoz Roglic truly ARE July fans- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Primoz' existential catchphrase "No Risk no Glory" which is itself a cryptic reference to famed AAF general Frederick Corbin Blesses approach to the Korean War. I'm smirking right now just imagining of those y-u-no-attack-fans scratching their heads in confusion as Ralph Denk's genious unfolds on their television screen. What fools.. how I pity them 😂. And yes by the way, I DO have a Primoz Roglic tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes. And even they have to demonstrate they are in my stratosphere of cycling strategy understanding before I show them.
But which tattoo is kept in better condition, the one of Roglic or Murray?Some people just won't understand Netserk
I don't think he's finished. He's just obviously not in the same shape as he was in the Vuelta last year. Otherwise he would've easily been able to follow, or even stomp.I won't generalize but I'll totally generalize, i.e. everyone, their momma & their dog has been saying for years "no one gives a sh*t about another Vuelta, all that matters is the Tour". So we can easily conclude Paris-Nice probably ranks even lower, especially considering he's won it once before.
But lo & behold, Rog arrives in Paris-Nice with (seemingly based on today) middling legs & kaboom, we hear & read the usual early season stuff about Rog being finished.
I mean... people need to make up their minds with this rider. I happen to believe "all that matters is the Tour" is probably closer to the reality of the situation than Rog being finished or something melodramatic like that.
He lost a full 2 seconds and looked labored.I didn't watch, what happened? The stomp didn't work?
Did he attack?He lost a full 2 seconds and looked labored.
Good. No need to spend too much energy. It's early in the season, keep the big stomp for later.He got 4 bonus seconds in a mini stomp.
Is that a big stomp in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me, Rogla?Good. No need to spend too much energy. It's early in the season, keep the big stomp for later.
7 weeks? Where did you get that?I don't think he's finished. He's just obviously not in the same shape as he was in the Vuelta last year. Otherwise he would've easily been able to follow, or even stomp.
I don't understand why he was 7 weeks at altitude though, when he rides like this. Not everyone is always able to immediately perform after altitude. He might already be much better at Itzulia Basque Country.
I actually have no clue. I tried searching for it and didn’t find it.7 weeks? Where did you get that?![]()
Usually it's 3 weeks.I actually have no clue. I tried searching for it and didn’t find it.
There is nothing new in that article that everyone doesn't already know. Just click baitThings are getting spicy. Or maybe it's just an old geezer having a ball:

"Primoz paid money to leave Jumbo-Visma" - Patrick Lefevere's explosive accusation on Primoz Roglic's transfer to BORA - hansgrohe
Primoz Roglic's transfer to BORA - hansgrohe was one of the main stories of the winter with no doubt, and also the most costly move of the entire transfer season. Besides a millionaire contract there...cyclinguptodate.com
Whether Bora directly paid that fee or Rogla paid it and Bora compensated him makes no difference. Other than the question of whether or not that is included in the reported 3-year salary of €6M (including bonuses).The rider’s agent has not commented publicly on Roglič’s situation, the likelihood of leaving Jumbo-Visma or the reported buyout fees any team would need to pay Jumbo-Visma but it’s understood that Jumbo have sanctioned the idea of losing a rider they described as their ‘king’ just a few weeks ago.
He is what ? Forty seconds down from Remco already ? Something is not right. But I knew that alreadyGood he is having some fun. He won't have any in the coming season. He will not win another grand tour.
You are brilliant!He is what ? Forty seconds down from Remco already ? Something is not right. But I knew that already
