I think he's done for when it comes to winning big races. Hopefully a move to another team materialises for him so that he can be a leader in all races he wants to. He still can Top 10 or even Top 5 GTs and one days. But winning maybe only smaller races.

If he races his normal calendar with Bora there will be a lot of problems for him with 2 maybe 3 riders I see stronger going into next season.

Also a total normal career progression mid 30.
 
Naah, not normal at all. He was completely fine until the second week of Giro, then something happened. The biggest mistake was doing combo Giro-Tour.

Nah, that wasn't a mistake. Just because results are not what you were originally after, that doesn't mean you made a mistake perusing such goals. Could have easily be more favourable, a GT win plus at minimum a GT podium. Next season then as it's not the first season on where Rogla hasn't win a GT.

Anyway, solid performance at Lombardia and i support the decision RBH made, to ride with UAE at the beginning of the race, as there is on where RBH, as a team, could show something. Deeper into the race we have seen this season, that they are not competitive. Both at Giro and Lombardia Jai might have been there, but crashes prevented it.


Anyway, season 2026 will be different. On how competitive Rogla will be, that is mostly down to Rogla. Denk seems to suggests that the team will support their leaders in whatever they chose in terms of combined schedule. So more solo attempts or combining synergies, that is a decision that will need to be made during the off season and the team will support it. Rogla, Remco and Lipo, among others, will hence need to firstly communicate it and then lets see on what decisions will get made. Results vice hopefully to at least move up from top 3 to top 2 team in terms of stage racing and beyond in the 2026 season.
