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

[Oldman]

I just saw this on twitter. I can't stop laughing

One of the best parts of cycling is the occasional rider that has other interests and doesn't take everything so seriously.

I wish I had his attitude and emotional stability. Very impressive.

Try.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Try.

I do my best

What a *** legend. Pogi and Vingo will retire before him and he will finally win the Tour, that I can tell you.

Nah, Rogla will beat them all fair and square.

Rogla is basically a ski-jumper who recently switched to cycling. Thus his aerobic peak will come later, at the age of 40, so you may be right (or Pogi & Vingo will retire being too scared of losing to the old man).

@Krzysztof_O

Rogla was older then Jonas currently is, when he won his first GT, the age argument was hence always moot, still is.

Tour de France 2026 contenders – Analysing the riders who will be in the battle for yellow next July

Following the route announcement, here's the current state of affairs regarding the favourites, the outsiders and the total dark horses

www.cyclingnews.com

It seems that it's over, veterans can't win the Tour, they said.

 

[red_flanders]

Actually not what they said at all.

Veteran racer Primož Roglič is set to form the third part of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's triumvirate at next year's Tour – should he, Evenepoel, and Lipowitz all be heading to France, that is.

The Slovenian will be 36 next summer and in the final year of his contract with the team, having made noises about possibly retiring sooner rather than later. He's been on the Tour podium once before, but, as this ranking suggests, any chance for him to win the race has likely passed.

Roglič is still a formidable stage racer in his own right, but the rise – and continued improvement – of Pogačar and Vingegaard means he won't be among the top favourites to win the maillot jaune in 2026. Instead, look for him to take on a support role at Red Bull or perhaps target a sixth Grand Tour title at the Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a España. (DO)

Seems like a balanced assessment. Does not rule him out, but seems to recognize that his performances last year look like a different rider than the one we saw in 2024 and before. His chances to win have likely passed. Doesn't mean it's impossible, and I'd not rule out him having a comeback year and being the second or even first strongest GT rider on the team. Not "likely" but certainly possible.

It's called, 'The Reality'

Pessimism.

 

[AmRacer]

Pessimism.

Are you pessimistic about the reality

 

[CyclistAbi]

@AmRacer

I honestly don't know on how a somewhat regular Rogla fan could ever be considered a pessimists. Some tried but ultimately it didn't pan out. All in all Rogla will be fine.

Yeps, Rogla will be fine.

As kids would say 6 7. Whenever somebody asks Rogla about doing ToS in the 2026 season.
