Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

[CyclistAbi]

So Olympics (non) selection for Roglič and as i seen Žigart, that will for sure stir the pot. Lets see if this decision will stand, or not.

Sure it was quite nerve-wracking watching the stage yesterday, but my conclusion is that Rog does not lack power but he is unwilling to go all out in a fight for position. Case in point; he never lost the wheel himself but he was always at the back of the group and when somebody in front loses the wheel that is it. When he needed to close the gap himself he was quite powerful. I would love to have seen what would have happened if Rog was on Pog's wheel during one of Pog's attacks.

I think Rog is experimenting with some new approaches in this year's Tour, like not crashing. It probably feels strange/unfamiliar ... but maybe it could have benefits in week 3?

Why this guy wasn't listed for Slovenia to be in the olympics?

Too old. In Slovenia, you must be under 32 to enter the olympics. We are like reverse US general election.

Certainly one benefit would be getting to week 3

Another Tour week another joyful day. Seeing Rogla out there, enjoying his life, doing what he loves, fighting for the overall.

Go Rogla!

Did you just read the headline? Because otherwise you would have known that she said that Primož's big wish was to compete in a road race.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Great that's he's enjoying himself, his former team seem to have already dismissed him as a rival to Jonas.

Think they did it last year already.

2 years ago.

Once he declined to do the ITT, it was quite likely for him to not be picked for road race. Had it been important for him to do it, he should have done the ITT too as he then would've had to be picked for the road race as well.

The course suits Moho and Pogi, and with so few doms in the race, Slovenia will have to pull a lot. With 5 spots or more nations with 4, perhaps Rogla would've been picked.

The @rogla camp announces that the Olympic champion from Tokyo has not refused to participate in the @Paris2024 games. It is agreed that the appearance (road race only) will be agreed after #TDF2024 when it is clear in what condition he will finish the Tour. The door is still open, the team can still change.

Honestly I do not care. The route is not suited to his abilities.

Anyhow the article was "payable" so only headline and short tekst was available and if somebody states that wants to experience the Olympic Games as a family, I would presume that this is their wish come true.

Experience the Olympics as a family = his sons can watch him race live.
Better read the whole interview, than spred misinformation.

 

[Gargamel35]

I'm not sure he wants to work for Pog as a domestique. Specially after getting beaten by him in TdF.

Won't throw away money to read yellow papers

Chill, I just quoted word by word what Lora said.

 

[CyclistAbi]

In my opinion it's rather obvious, Olympics participation is still down to Rogla decision and the decision will be made after the Tour. That is all there is to it.

 

[CyclistAbi]

When asked today, after the stage and for local media, Rogla has said yes, he wants to do the Olympics.

Is Rogla going to stretch his legs a bit today?

There is a ramp at the end so it depends. Ideally not to lose time today, anything more than that would be a bonus. At this point likely actively participating, chasing a stage win, likely not in plans.

It's about time (for me). But he probably thinks it's still too early to show all the cards.

Long rang defense continued: maybe he'll attack in the last TT ...or during the post-race ceremony.
