Decline is known to happen in 2 months from winning WT stage races to getting dropped by 25 dudes on a 5% climb.

Unless you were talking about repeatedly declining of his bicycle, in which case it's true.
I know you are a die hard fan but you have to accept he is no longer the same rider.

He'll start his Tour preparation straight away. Skipping that silly "rest" thing.
Roglic can’t even think about winning the Tour if he can’t be at Caruso’s level.
And I don't think this today is for pensr on the Tour. Had to secure the Giro because Tour rivals are dreadful in comparison.

Pogacar and Vingegaard destroy Ayuso.

Rog is super talented but I think he is too old now and has had too many crashes

He may win a week stage race yet but I think he is past his best .....just too many crashes as a rider and a skier

It happens to the best of them

Hard to tell what is going on. He nuked the first TT. Also was the strongest GC rider in the second TT. Climbing legs just aren't there.

He won a WT stage race against UAE second fiddle in this race

Let's be real. Roglic crashed 3 times this Giro and we don't know how banged up he is. Let me remind you that Pogi crashed once on the col de la Loze stage and lost 5mins 30 secs.
Not 100% sure about this Roglic injury narrative, he got dropped by Ayuso on an easy mountain he would usually demolish everyone on before any of that, maybe falls compounded the issue a bit.

Del Toro another 2nd place coming up. Wout will start getting jealous at this point.

Yay the third sunday of a GT we get several hours of farcical and pointless (except for Roglic dropping) action!
