Is Roglic past his prime?

[tobydawq]

As we know, Rogla was a ski-jumper and when he started cycling career he was a grandpa already. He's slowly but surely entering his prime.

I don't think he was even a father yet.

This thread does seem like an opportunity to just over critique a currently enigmatic rider. He does what he wants and seems pretty good with himself. He'll be deified by rabid fans if he wins some Fall races or written off by those that never thought he would be the King.
Unfortunately, this unproductive category of analysis, separate of each rider's own thread will become the bait click thread for those that need combativeness rather than appreciation of good athletes. It serves the thread creator more than the topic in some strange universe.

Couldn't have said it better.

How often has Roglic faced a non-neo pro Pogacar or Vingegaard at the Vuelta?

It's completely irrelevant, it's an intrinsic reason for why being a top level GT rider is a much better niche than being a cobbles specialist.

Why choose when you can be both?

I think most of us get that it’s going to happen at some point and, if nothing else, a season like this might precipitate that. Remco has the golden glow of youth to bounce him back each time he falls.

Yeah, youth and a couple more kilos will keep him bouncing.

He does have more monument wins than Pedersen as well. Tis an easy thing to forget.

Okay, Rick.
