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

First of all know that i would take you to the Tour and secondly the deal doesn't include Rogla, so you are safe.

As for some rationale:


The plan is hence to get all three more GC orientated riders to reach the hills. For that i agree the team is good. Alex should peak in second half of the Tour and all in all they say all are extremely well prepared. I like the fact a lot of reconnaissance and analysing was involved, especially if that means having Rogla well positioned on exposed sections.



Injuries, current form, strategy ...
The podium is a reasonable plan.

Fight for the victory in the Tour or winning the Tour against pogacar and vingegaard is not a realistic plan. Nevertheless, crashes happens, and if those two crash, Roglic have a chance of winning the Tour, but it in normal conditions, Roglic can't go against them, like we saw last year in the mountain stages of the Tour before the crash of roglic.

At first a was bit vary but now i understand that by podium position they likely meant Rogla, Lipo and Alex. Anyway, i agree that the core of the team is strong and should get them to the first rest day, normally, without the usual issues involved. If by any chance all Rogla, Lipo and Alex will be firing in mountains, that should likely suffice too. The rest indeed is down to individual quality at that point in time.

Nah, Rogla owes it to the two, they will all be there. As for the support, here indeed who knows, very likely for teams to take hits. That is it's way more likely then not.
 
Ah well, we‘ll see eh, how it goes… *Vingegaard and Pogačar crash out* On stage 21: „Ah, well, sipping the champagne, eh, we‘ll see, how we get through the day ah“: Primoz wins the Tour, it‘s the most poetic daylight robbery in the history of sports, the forum is set aflame and delighted simultaneously, will be glorious

A week from now Rogla will start his seventeenth grand tour, riding as a lead for Red Bull - Bora - Hansgrohe. That is almost the same number of grand tours then Pogi, Jonas and Remco have done combined. One more and Rogla will be considered of legal age in all EU member states except for Scotland, on where Rogla already surpassed it. Out of 16 GTs Rogla DNF in 5, one Giro, one Vuelta and three times at the Tour.

Allez Rogla!
