Great overall win by Roglic and not how I expected today to go. Maybe not the strongest in the race but the smartest overall and won it with his team, the sprints for bonus seconds, and staying within himself. Hopefully he can build towards the Tour.

Not bad, eh?

Who is the last rider to win 10 of these races? Can't think of anyone ever since I started watching.

Why not, eh? If his rival says "I'm gone, I'm dead", Rogla can easily afford one day like this.

Unfortunately for Roglič that rival is not coming to the Tour after breaking his wrist this time and if he has a day like today others will challenge him regardless.

He looks good for third place at the Tour. He can't beat Vingegaard or Progacar if they are near top level. Winning is only possible if Vingegaard and Pogacar can't start, get sick or crash.
But why not try, eh?

Why not lower expectations by allowing one controlled loss? :cocktail:
I like it -- it's not the same old same old prep by Rog.
Changing it up a bit.

Well, Primoz likes some adrenaline and drama. That's why today and PN'22 last stage happened. In other words, this is what you call a calculated effort.

He needs to go to extra shoulder examination tomorrow. It was a hard crash.

As in the TDF could be in danger? I mean he could sprint after the crash so surely it's not that bad? Or is just something he will need to take care in the off season (a surgery to fix it)?

I hope he reaches a clearly higher level at the Tour than at the Dauphine, Vuelta 2023 if you will. 0 hope he can beat Pogacar head on, but I hope for him to be the best of the rest, and if Vingegaard isn't there and something happened to Pogacar, nothing would suck worse than not being able to capitalize on that case.

We don't know yet, but he already had a surgery on that shoulder after 2022 season. I think it's not that innocent when he starts explaining to the media how much it hurts... Usually he doesn't say anything.

Not sure yet. They found fluid in his shoulder and it's bothering him a lot.

Yeah I mean if this is his level at the Tour I wouldn't be surprised if there is some outsider who nails his shape and is straight up better than him.

I hope Roglic will improve towards the Tour; at this moment he is the only realistic competition for pogacar: Vingegaard is very unsure, Remco’s climbing pedigree is not enough and all others either lack climbing or a tt.
climbing and TT.
