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

[CyclistAbi]

Maybe Roglic should first do his part before complaining about RBH. His form isn’t where it should’ve been this spring

Roglič doesn't complain and he did his part good. If he would be undisputed leader then likely a stage win or a GC win would already be ticked off the list. It's just that currently the team is exploring different options so it is what it is.

If Rogla would win a GC, he certainly would be the undisputed leader.

Currently no.

Anyway, considering their respective schedules, any chance for Rogla and Remco to train together till the Tour start?

Correct, Rogla hasn't won a GC so far this season.

I find that completely delusional. I don’t see where he would’ve beaten Del Toro, Seixas or Pogacar

@AmRacer

Nobody has, major one week race, contrary to last year, when Rogla was undisputed leader.

@Berniece

Well, then i see no real problem if Rogla goes to the Tour and races for GC. We'll see.

They want a teamplayer at TDF, someone that actually gives his all for Lipo or Remco

@Berniece

After all they are the three musketeers.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Basically, the dilemma i have is i don't believe RBH will send a strong support team to Vuelta, there Rogla likely to be on his own anyway. On the other hand there will likely be a rather good team at the Tour.

So, does it make sense to go to the Tour and win it, or not. We'll see.

Which riders do you want in support at the Vuelta?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Which riders do you want in support at the Vuelta?

The ones that can be there in support on the ultimate climbs, likely such luxury wont' be available at Vuelta. At the Tour i assume at least two will be able to do that. Plus RBH hasn't got this one figured out already so the presence of champion such as Rogla to calm things down. For the team to not implode.

Correct, so nobody is undisputed leader. But Lipo has best results so far.

But I mean actual riders, which names

Remco is lucky he doesn't leave any aerodynamic shadow. Otherwise he would be Rogla's all-terrain superdom at the Vuelta.

@Berniece

If Remco and Lipo will be out of contention i fell that that is solid level of support if Rogla will still be fighting for the overall. As for Vuelta and names, exactly. Nobody will likely be there in support on the ultimate climbs. Unless i guess some youngster steps up.

Who knows. Maybe Evenepoel crashes in a descent stage 6, and goes for the Vuelta. With Roglic there he has the perfect guy for shifting focus from TDF to Vuelta

Who is nobody

@AmRacer

Beats me.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Yeah, strategic fallacy right there. RBH doesn't know who their leader is for the Tour, so somehow they believed if we sacrifice Rogla, then we sorted that one out. Lets see if Rogla can pull them out of this mess.

Rogla has a Vuelta to win, he's tired of crashing out of the Tour and he was happy reaching Paris. So that's that.

@AmRacer

We'll see and besides Rogla didn't crash out at the 2025 edition. It's mostly up to the team, if they still see value in sharpest Rogla. Or do they want him dull, for whatever reason involved. Making Rogla dull IMHO doesn't help them in any meaningful way, concerning Tour 2026 edition.

Rogla won't race the Tour, he has a Vuelta to win.

Yeah, hope he can win a last Vuelta.
