Remco and Roglic vs the World

[Andy schleck]

Personally I feel this is a trumped up rivalry. Roglic really doesn't seem to care that much. I think his rivalry is more with Pogacar.

Yeah. Roglic gave a victory to remco, so he is not a rival.

Roglic gave the tour to Pog, so not rivals either. I think Rog's biggest rival is Vingo.

Roglic gave the Tour to Vingo last year.

Roglic is just a very loving and giving fellow.

Roglic also gave a victory to vingegaard at the criterium dauphine.

Rivalling the legendary generosity of Laporte in that regard. But Laporte now is starting to reap the returns and getting greedy.

Roglic' main rivary is Bahrain hitmen and French asphalt.

But his biggest rivalry is with the sign lady.

As well as Omi-Opi and hay bales!

Roglic has no rivals, only proteges.
He lead Pogi to his success and was happy about his compatriot's victories (most importantly it stays in SLOVEnia!).
He was the first to predict that Vinge will win the Tour one day. He taught him a lot and helped on the TdF roads.
Now he's teaching Remco how to race properly. Time will tell if his apprentice is ready to face the master at the Giro or more lessons are needed (last year's Vuelta lesson was cancelled due to Wright guy).

There's so many remco beliebers. I don't understand why, because like you said,the other main riders don't have hardcore fans like him. They have a lot of fans, but they are rational fans.

Once you see the light, you will believe it also! Or maybe just check what the kid has done since he decided to sit on a bicycle. Don't focus on the result but on the performance itself. Ask De Gendt, Valverde, Pedersen, Cyrille Guimard and many others from the cycling community what they have seen because many also jumped on the bandwagon.

It's true love with the French asphalt.
Look how close he always gets with it!

It seems to be the topic of the thread so choosing the right words is important here

Roglic also gave a victory to vingegaard at the criterium dauphine.

I think that was the other way round.

My mind is in the gutter, with the dirty joke I thought of, but I guess so is Roglic.

Yes, you're right.

You know what could be great?
If certain members could be locked to this thread. Then they could have their little arguments, while the rest of us eat popcorn, and enjoy the show.

Great idea. I’m wondering if the race will be able to live up to the fantasy on the forum.

You're a f**king legend.

The perfect bump.

Never!

Now that Remco has won the giro and we don’t have to get distracted by that side issue, can we turn our heads to the really important question: Who has the best body at the giro? I would say Oumi but I’m sure @Skijumper Roglic fan has other ideas

I just read the startlist once again and actually found none of the starters with an exceptionally good body, by bodybuilding standards… TdF will be much better, but I fear we‘ll have to wait for Vuelta to see Welsford in the next GT…

Will Roglic be allowed to borrow Van Aert's torso?

Remco put Big time to Roglic in a stage good for him and on his best moment. Of course Roglic could put time on him one hard mountain stage, but he is not a superclimber.
