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

[Rackham]

It was actually quite good though

Maybe. I can see neutral fans might have enjoyed that one. But from a Rog perspective... I still don't even know where he finished. These Italian races are so... slow, when it comes to giving final results.

 

[Rackham]

DNF again I see.

Maybe that rumor about stopping in a bar was true. Rog's clearly engaged his 'no sh*ts given' end of season mode.

I like this new rebellious character trait.

All in for Il Lombardia. Teddy won't even know what hit him.

Looking at the weather he can better start in the pub tomorrow

I mean look... I'm probably the biggest Rogla supremacist among mortals (I don't know what planet or universe CyclistAbi lives in)... but even I have to admit... it's not happening on Saturday. In fact at this rate of collapsed form since the Vuelta he's way closer to a DNS in Lombardia than he is winning it.

You could be on to something. It's like Shaun of the Dead, aka all roads lead to the Winchester. In Rog's case the Red Bull bus drives him around Italy, drops him off for some random one day race, he does a few hours on the bike and then stops in the pub. Then the bus picks him up again. Rinse repeat.

Pog isn't even Rog's problem. He's going to be 35. He's had an amazing career (especially when you consider his origins in the sport). I mean.. chapeau Rog, really. 5 times GT winner & 88 career wins. Insane.

So no, Pog isn't his problem. Now for riders who're between 23 & 30... then yeah, Pog is a serious issue. He's everyone else's bogeyman. Aka The Baba Yaga of the peloton. Forget winning big races when Pog is on the startlist.

True. Everyones bogeyman, haha I liked that one, gold.

For the first time in his career I dont understand a thing about what is he doing lately.
Im worried that he might have some physical problem or something.

February 2022 race vibes.

When Roglic isn't in these races to win, the guy checks out.

And with questionable condition and bad weather, it makes much more sense to check out.

It's obvious that it is a new tactic. No more whining to his opponents that he has bad legs, but a few races in a row he DNF and riding in the back, so they let him go in the break in Lombardia. This is the only way to beat Pogi on Saturday.

Red Bull are probably short on numbers for these races. He's totally checked out now. This has been true since his not-so-good ITT in the Worlds. It's Joeover for Rog this season.

I also think he's at that point in his career where he knows how to peak for one objective and then close shop. He'll be back... when he's ready.

Pogi knows how to peak a whole season.

I just want one more YOLO attack at Lombardia, then he can check out.

He should just try to follow the bogeyman, just f it got nothing to lose, just try.

Nah, Pogi peaked only in the second half of the Tour. The rest is his base winter level.

 

[Lequack]

From the start today

In good mood

I think they all might join each other in the pub.

With a forecast of up to 250 mms of rain (wtf??) in 12 hours, organising a cycling race will be an impossible task.

At least it sounds like Pog is not the best golfer.

In 2019 he was similarly *** in the Worlds ITT and then proceeded to win Tre Valli and Emilia.
