Roglic rode a rather small gear on the final climb, but pedaled it very fast. That sprint against Rohan Dennis was a perfect preparation.

Roglic knew this climb from the Giro prologue ofcourse.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Did Roglic do much work before the final climb though?

No, but usually I dont think theres so much selection on the previous climbs as this year, but I may be mistaken. Fall racing is not my speciale.

His thread used to be titled Primoz Roglic is the new Landa thread.

Both selection and climbing speed depend on circumstances. Tailwind on the climb would explain both. Even the guys who didn't win have some very fast times compared to other years, even despite a more selective race.

But tailwind or no, winning by 15 seconds on this climb is bonkers.

Landa looks weak compared to Primoz. Primoz is better than Rominger too. He's just getting started .

Woods hopefully gets his win soon. He must be getting tired of podiums. Roglic was outstanding.

just caught up with yesterdays race...Roglic was really strong

From the post race interview it sounds like Roglic is running on fumes. Will be interesting to see if his form holds

Well I meant just getting started with his cabinet of trophies, not that he'd get any more this year. Il Lombardia will most likely be to long and hard for his dwindling form this year. But his Future is Very Bright!

Hard to say his form is dwinding when this was the most impressive Emilia win in ages.

He's the one that has said more than once that 'I didn't feel good' after the race! Maybe he's bluffing them . We'll see more at TVV.

He got to take home some Mortadella sausage.
