There was some guy Podlogar or whatever who was performance analyst or director for RBH and he made the mistake to go on some podcasts and expose himself just how little understanding he has. I was quite hopeful for Rg's sake when I read that he was gone from the team. However, based on Remco's performances, maybe they have someone even worse now. Hopefully that is not the case and Rog, himself, knows what he needs to do.
He was nutritionist and when he was at RBH they won Giro and Vuelta.

The excessive spouting of nonsense by supposed experts just makes one think they all sign NDAs and are only allowed on podcasts and such if they lie their ass off

Ironically he'd be more free if Evenepoel was lighting things up with Red Bull. Rog mentioned himself how he could benefit this season by just racing and not concerning himself with how the team is run and all that stuff that bogged down his first two years in the team. A top Evenepoel = much less pressure.

So let's say the team has a worst case scenario and the TdF is a a typical Ralph Denk-led disasterclass from the team. Suddenly the Vuelta looks like a pressure cooker again. Just like old times.

Really sounds like was burnt out last season, and I would not be surprised if that's the reason Roglic has personally decided not to do the Giro as well as the Vuelta.

Let's hope so. I just posted something regarding his form last year in the Evenepoel thread and yes your theory here makes sense. Especially since his coach said he advised him not to do the Giro-Tour double.

I think he could've done a good Giro-Tour double, but not a Giro-gravel-asphalt-asphalt-asphalt-Tour sextuple.

Rogla was rather great in the 2025 season till the crash fest. Without that i am sure that his Giro/Tour performance would bare much more fruit. Del Toro will be a good test on what to expect in 2026 season.

P.S. Hopefully Rogla not to be forced to do the Tour as a result.
