It should be warm and full of people, yet, he's cold and alone. Where did he go?
Our beloved human.
Oh and i think his 3rd career should be modelling. Just put a fence around the runway and he should be fine.
Since "colorado" doesn't have capital "C" it was probably not meant as a geographical location. I don't speak Spanish but internet says colorado also means "coloured red", which kind of makes sense given that word "colour" is of latin origin. It looks like "coloured" here refers to your skin being coloured (red) instead of pale - that's why coloured implies red as well? Any Valverde fans that can confirm this?Why does the Spanish newspaper Marca refer to Roglic as the Colorado King? Do they confuse him with Sepp Kuss?

Looks like he’s cosplaying in Tears for Fears.

Nah, some things still left on the todo list.
Nah, too old to even understand what was being said.
I don't speak Spanish either but I think Google's autogenerated English translation of the title, at least, is poor. If I manually translate I get: "the red king who skipped all the problems like when he was a ski jumper"- "red king" would make sense seeing as he has won so many red jerseys he could probably sew a whole quilt with them.

I can see Rogla modeling, he's a good-looking lad. And I can also see him crashing into the rows of photographers when he's strutting the runway, so putting some padded fences around it I think is a good idea.
Are you saying Roglic’s white matter is decreased?

What does Colorado really mean in Spanish?
I was surprised to discover colorado means red colored or red. Color means color in Spanish and the ending -ado is equivalent to the ending -ed in English. Putting the two together should mean col...

I saw him hanging around Birmingham the other day...
Gold in RR and bronze in ITT... I say yes. What do you think?
Top 5 in both.
ITT: I'm not sure he can defeat any of Evenepoel, Tarling, Kung, Affini for a podium spot.
RR: So many different scenarios that could happen, of which winning gold is one, but chances are very slim
I expect nothing from the Worlds and to be honest, nothing is really expected of Rog either. It's not really his forte (the road race in particular is a big no-no at 270km's) and when I see Evenepoel, McNulty, Kung and Tarling on the startlist for the ITT, I think reality dictates an 'expect nothing and just watch the show' sort of approach.
And really, who even cares? He's won a GT & a one week race this year. Everything now is just bonus.

Top 3 in ITT is totally doable, only Remco will be hard to beat.
Ganna is supposedly sick, Tarling crashed out of Vuelta so who knows where he's at, plus he was only 6th in Vuelta ITT which was his target stage.. Kung only beat him in final Vuelta ITT after resting and Rog tripping after bad batch of mushrooms.

Like Remco, the RR would be an amazing opportunity to let loose with lower expectations. His Spanish conquest after the recovery period had to cost him. R Rick says no and I would say maybe; if he doesn't have to kill himself in the first 200km.
The WC ITT route isn't tailor made for Rogla still there is a hump in the middle and Rogla is getting increasingly faster on flat ITT routes, current form is good. When it comes to medals hence the dilemma is to pace for bronze or to go all-in for gold on where an option to blow up is realistic too.
The WC RR route is suitable for Rogla and either Rogla or Pogi likely to win. Remco likely the biggest opponent but with much weaker cards this year, without Wout, compared to the Slovenian national dream team.

To be honest somehow i am already focusing on Muro di Sormano, on where Rogla will likely win his first Il Lombardia. In regards to the worlds hence medals of any color will do just fine this year. Said that and while we are doing it, gold is obviously a realistic option too. You never know in cycling on how things turn out and for somebody like Rogla just being there, gold is in reach. Do we want Rogla in rainbow jersey at the Tour 2025 though? Immediate crash and off to Vuelta 2025 to follow? Or for the rainbow jersey to act as a shield, against all sci-fi scenarios that went on at the Tour since 2020. We'll see.
i think he will do a good TT, maybe a top 5 is realistic. i dont expect anything from him at Worlds RR or Lombardia, he really struggles with races over 220k. but maybe i will be pleasantly surprised.
I just watched again the Tokyo Olympic ITT. What an absolutely brilliant ride that was.
What do you expect the average speed of the winner (Evenepoel) to be in the worlds ITT, under or over 50kph?

Roglic bronze in ITT (Remco gold), 7th in RR (Pogi gold)
It's a myth mostly due to Rogla not targeting such races in the past all that much. I feel that Rogla is now interested in winning a few, lasts year Lombardia already close, on where he lost it on the ultimate descend, not prepared to risk it all.
Likely over and Rogla should attempt it as riding for a hour record. The hump basically guarantees him a medal still he should aim higher.
