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

Not even close. With Jonas doing PN and Catalunya, Roglic will not have more than 6/7 wins this year.

To put that into perspective, with your conservative approach, 6 wins, that would come down to 94 wins. Did you account for stomps too?

Where do you think Roglic would be able to get the 12 wins? How many stages in each race he's doing?

He is getting older. He will only do one race without any guy from the big 4.

Many many stages involved in the 2025 season, hopefully 6 at Giro alone. But as Nibali seem to suggest, drop the hammer at ITTs and do nothing else, that strategy (if selected) could go against high number of wins.

"In this Giro he has to do only one thing" - Vincenzo Nibali's advice to Primoz Roglic ahead of 2025 Giro d'Italia

The route and profiles of the 2025 Giro d'Italia have arrived and the hype is already beginning to rise. Expected to be front and centre of the fight for the Maglia Rosa is Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe...

I feel that respecting and trying to win the Giro, that is a priority, races prior to Giro, here it's mostly about some fun and prestige anyway, beating Jonas.

If we look at the biological age then Rogla is a year older, each year. If we try to predict, on how season 2025 will look like, then we can say it will likely look better then season 2023, due to leadership position being sorted out inside the team and it will likely look better then 2024 season, due to season 2024 being a transitional season. Now IMHO both seasons 2023 and 2024 still being rather good.

Expecting 6 in the Giro is crazy to me

I mean if that would be the goal but i tend to agree that it's not Rogličes style. Rogla is fine by winning with 1 second advantage and i guess 1 stage win is perfectly fine too. Unless the team will make him. We'll see.

I mean guys, season 2023 came down to 15 wins and season 2024 came down to 8 wins and neither can be considered Rogla being at full capacity in terms of health or full team support. One part is sorted out and fingers crossed the health situation to be favourable. In that case a 100 is on the radar and just imagine still being that good, at 100.

Stage 1? There will be faster riders still in the group that finishes together, one of them named Wout Van Aert

One stage in the whole race. But i know, why not to be a bit more greedy. We'll see.

I can definitely see him win 2-3 stages in the Giro
