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
I'm never sure if it's trolling or just really believing all the hype he pushes himself. Like being able to win the Tour, and WC last year for example.
In each pre season discussion there seems to be such agreement about this things, reality being Rogla rarely wins only 6 times per season.

Likely this was intended to go in some other thread, in short top cyclists often change a bike and it doesn't seem to affect their performance. As for wealthier teams to have access to better materials. That is true and likely to an extent it will always be like that. Unless cyclists and their teams would be forced to use the same model.

He won 8 when 7 of those wins came in Dauphiné and Vuelta. Both races didn't have any big4 rider
Roglic can win way more this year, because he recently created a weapon called "long range defence", something super innovative.
With long range defence the idea is not to win much, only the important things. I feel that Rogla demonstrated at Vuelta 2024 already, that some tools in his toolbox include unleashing total HAVOC. Pogi, Jonas and Remco get massively praised for it, for Rogla, no biggie. Comes with the age.
Who are his biggest rivals at the giro?
Who are the leaders from uae?
If he doesnt crash, grand tour win number 6 is coming.
4 vuelta and 2 giro wins doesnt sound bad.
After that just have fun at the tour de france without pressure.

Sorry, you're right. Just Vingegaard due to his crash in Pais Vasco
He will show the most advanced version of the weapon this year: DNF at both the Giro and the Tour to peak for Vuelta #5.
So far Rogla has beaten Pogi at a monument, week long stage race and a GT. Remco at a week long stage race and a GT. Jonas i guess still missing on when it comes to such stats, due to them being teammates, season 2025 just perfect for that.

I don't know why I lose time with you. Can't wait to see his a$$ kicked in Catalunya
