Primoz bringing it home for the wife and baby! What can't this man do? He's a Beast 
answering the is Coquard as bad at climbing as Ewan debate from earlier
He has become a cannibal in these types of races. They just suit him so well.

Again I wasn't talking about short hills or ramps, but actual mountains. But it's nice to see Coquard really going for that most top 10s without a win competition.

Rogla showing that last year's Vuelta wasn't a fluke. He really is an upgraded version of peak Valverde.

I dont think he is as puncheur as Valverde used to be. Today if Alaphilipe had been there he would have won.

If Roglic is near his normal level, he's just an unbeatable force in races like P-N... Maybe Evenepoel or MvdP in the near future, but perhaps they have other ambitions.

It's a bit difficult to really rate this Roglic level, when all the other biggest names are in Italy.

Well, beating Mathews and Teuns in a finish like this is quite something
Rogla cool as cucumber whereas Laporte and Mathews in agony
Roglic is obviously versatile but what Valverde did year after year for a long time was very impressive. Roglic probably could win an Ardennes classic if he changed his season targets. He's already a better grand tour rider than Valverde.

Maybe you are right on prime Valverde having a bit more punch, but Roglič gains in other areas (TT, long climbs, better GT rider in general).
About Alaphilippe...again maybe you are right. But maybe if Roglič was in T-A yesterday, maybe he would have smoked them all. We'll never know. Luckily we'll have races in the future where they'll compete against each other again.
Roglic won LBL in 2020 - Laugh when people post that Roglic is boring - He is a joy to watch.

Well since last year was the 2nd time he won it who would think it was a fluke? Two flukes in two years?

I was thinking more of his stage wins/top placings in sprints/uphill sprints. We all know his Vuelta win is no fluke

Don't think there has been a better one week stage racer than roglic in my time of me following this sport. That combination of being an elite climber, an elite puncheur and an elite time trialist is straight up ridiculous. It's honestly hard to design a one week stage race that isn't entirely flat, he wouldn't be among the biggest favorites for.

He didn't destroy everyone in the final 200m 2 days ago, clearly had to make up for something
