I know, I also wrote about Pogacar when he won the Tour that he now had as many wins as Roglic.
I saw a potential for a lot of likes but I was caught out sooner than I had hoped

ineos now ordering 40 of these. everything for marginal gains.
A bit late to the party this year but the first stomp after the inevitable misfortune is always one of the nicest moments of a cycling season for me! Congrats Roglic!

If a man in pain with a broken back can do things like these, imagine what he could do with 100% preparation without crashes and injuries. That nagging if.
I think he looked really relaxed at the steep parts. He looked more in pain at the Dauphine and at the Tour when going fast. Perhaps he even safed something yesterday. Even Roglic is feeling the stress and pressure at the Tour and the preperation for it. I think Vuelta is his comfort zone.

Very, very happy to see that my fears were unfounded. Great to see PR's resilience and fortitude manifest yesterday.

I asked it in the main thread, what was supposed to happen today? It was shallow before the extreme wall that everyone agrees rarely produces gaps. If you did get a 10-15 second gap at the end of that wall you were going to be brought back on that false flat after by 3-5 riders. On top it was stage 4.

Tbh knowing you would have to produce times Pantani would be dropped by two minutes would stress any mere mortal
I think he needed this win, to be honest, and his strategy was to get the win, period, not display dominance, which he likely was not 100% confident he could do. His tactics supported that goal, as he signaled his strength, put serious time into key rivals, and got the win.

It’s just not his style to go all in unnecessarily, especially not on stage 4. He looked like he could have made a difference at least to everyone but Mas but he’s experienced enough to know he’s gonna need those legs later on. Unfortunately, he’s no superman like Pog and has to distribute his efforts accordingly…
That being said, it’s actually quite an early display of power for his standards. Either RBH wants some publicity or he’s very strong this time.

Yes, maybe that’s even more of a reason for early display of power than the reasons I mentioned…

I think he's very strong. He had good form in the Tour before his DNF & now he gets to fire those bullets he would have used up fighting with Evenepoel in July.
Having the leader jersey also makes tactical sense in the bunch because he gets to ride at the front for most of the day (like today in what was a tricky finale through Seville) RBH clearly believe they can protect it as well.

Today’s approach is how it should always be. The entire team needs to make an effort to stay in front in nervous parts of the race even at the possible expense of being able to offer him less support in the mountains if need be. I think it’s clear his enemy number one is crashes - other than that, he can take care of himself.
They shouldn’t at any time be inviting bad luck because with Roglic, it always comes…
That’s fine, that dribbling remco fan the page before
Thinks everyone should be winning by 2 minutes on a 22% 2km
Climb on stage 4.

What are these shenanigans? I hope he doesn't start jumping into the pool on camera. We all know how that turned out for Pogacar.

I read some riders were stating that they lost some time on stage 4 due to deyhidration and not because of worse form. Is it possible that Roglič just handles the heat that much better than others? Red bull bora even has black shirts which i would guess are even hotter..
I don't think Roglič has any special track record for being extra good in heat. He does have a track record being bad in cold though.
Apparently the latest jersey tech is able to reflect the sun no matter what color is used.

Jesus, there's an article on CN that starts with "Primoz Roglic leaves Vuelta a España" that almost gave me a heart attack
Same here. I’ve actually seen it multiple times and it still gets me each time.
