Obvious CQ pick is obvious

Our boy needs a nice, rejuvenating offseason

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.

Razblinjeni so vsi dvomi glede Rogliča: šef Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe jasen

V zadnjem obdobju so se v kolesarskih krogih znova pojavile govorice, da bi lahko Primož Roglič zapustil ekipo Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe. A prvi mož moštva, generalni direktor Ralph Denk, je te govorice odločno ovrgel. V pogovoru za Sportal je poudaril, da ima ekipa s slovenskim šampionom...

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.

"Klasična Roglič sezona ... Prihod Evenepoela je dobra stvar zame in za našo ekipo."

Nasmejan in sproščen na kraju, kjer je stopil v svet profesionalnega kolesarstva. Primož Roglič je spomladi že zmagoval, a nato se je marsikaj zalomilo in podrlo med dvojčkom Giro-Tour. Četudi bo star 36 let, že z optimizmom zre v prihodnjo sezono 2026.

Some interesting excerpts:
When you look back on the season that just ended, how would you describe it, what was going on with these ups and downs?
Basically a kind of classic Roglič season. Let's put it this way. A lot of things happened again this year. A good start with Catalonia, also a good start to the Tour of Italy, and then all the problems. You can call the Tour of France a failure or a success, which is quite telling. It depends on which side you look at it from, how you take it. Plus all these final races at the end of the season. I would certainly have liked more, what would I hide. But I trained and did everything the best I know how. In the end, that brought the places I achieved. Everyone else is moving forward a little faster. After the season ends, we have to sit down and figure out what and how, and set things up for next year.

What does the arrival of Remco Evenepoel to your team mean to you?
A good thing, actually. For me, maybe I can step aside a bit, in terms of all the responsibility, all these things. Because now we have one younger person, who everyone can rely on and start. I hope that I will have a little more peace, a little more freedom. Also, as far as racing itself is concerned - I'm just saying this off the top of my head, because Remco and I have never met or sat down together, and we don't know each other very well personally. But in terms of racing , I personally hope that this is a gain for me, for both of us and for all of us, which is also the essence of teamwork. Together we try to do what we can and get the most out of it.

How long will you be away from home? You have one more year of contract. Or maybe, as Anže Kopitar recently said: This is my last season.
Considering how quickly I make things up, and at the last minute, it's probably a bit of an illusion that I would expect myself to say: Yes, next year will be my last season. Maybe next year, on such an occasion, I will just say that I will not start again. We will see, we go day by day, month by month, but for sure: yes, next year I will still be on the bike.

That's his first pro season without a GT stage win.
Should have stomped Tagliacozzo just to keep the streak.


Edit: Ayuso is to blame!
