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

[acm]

Tomorrow's finish is ideal for Roglic.
If he doesn't get into the sprint, it would be a sign of weakness.

Contador finished second in that final. Roglic is the better puncheur.

Del Toro could win tomorrow.

He probably won't, he's injured and needs some more time to recover.

He will loose more seconds tommorow because he won't sprint. He said his shoulder and upper leg muscle hurt a lot.

The latter has some merit, but he also can’t win by bleeding more and more bonus seconds. The former, though, come on.

Bleeding to whom? Del Toro?

Roglic was in this position the day before his crash and retirement in the TDF.
Debido a algunos comentarios, a veces parece olvidarse que Roglic participó en el TDF 2024 y que no estaba al mismo nivel que los dos primeros en las etapas de montaña.
The day of his first crash, he was with Remco.

Seeing this, Roglic can't ride a Giro thinking about winning the Tour. He's riding the Giro thinking about winning the Giro, because otherwise, he could be left without winning either of them. He has to secure the Giro.
If Roglic acts like this these days, it's because he's not strong or because it's the best thing for the Giro. Not because he was thinking about the Tour and spending less watts yesterday he´ll win TDF.

If he could win the Tour, he should be far superior every day. Neither Ayuso nor Tiberi nor the Yates would´ve to do anything against Vingegaard and Pogacar.

1	1	-	POGAČAR Tadej	Equipo Emirates de los EAU	25	32″	45:00:34
2	2	-	EVENEPOEL Remco	Soudal Quick-Step		14″	1:06
3	3	-	VINGEGAARD Jonas	Equipo Visma | Alquila una bicicleta		20″	1:14
4	4	-	ROGLIC Primož	Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe			2:15

You are delving too much into it, ATM Tour is an afterthought, something to think about after the Giro.

 

[CyclistAbi]

I voted for him to win this Giro but I was expecting Redbull to be stronger and I was expecting Roglic to have a 1 minute gap to everyone. Roglic hasn't been impressive.

Doesn't that make it more impressive?

 

[CyclistAbi]

As for tomorrow i am cautiously optimistic. We'll see.

Bleeding to whom? Del Toro?

Yes.
