Remco vs Roglic

[CyclistAbi]

In Lombardy, it's all against Pogacar
At the World Cup, I´m sorry, but if Roglic was a domestique in Zurich, what do you think he'll be like in Rwanda?

It's possible he won't participate this year, citing fatigue. I think Wout will do the same in Belgium

In the TDF, it's possible to see Remco vs. Roglic for third place.

Each time Rogla participated at Lombardia the outcome was better, last attempt finishing third. At Worlds Pogi can go solo again, if desired, Rogla can seat at Remcos wheel just fine. Having all bases covered. Then if Rogla wins in sprint i wouldn't necessary call Pogi a domestique. In national selections this is much more loose and the most important thing is to have your finest crop there, once we had it we got a world champion, prior to that we failed. So i doubt a mistake, on leaving the best ones at home, will ever be repeated. I am sure that Pogi will help Rogla if the situation will demand for it, fatigue likely playing a role indeed, not just for Rogla. For example i don't believe anymore that Pogi will do Vuelta in 2025 season, especially considering he already peaked for this season and still has Tour and a plethora of other shorter races to do. As for the Tour, Rogla was a runner up already, the goal is hence to do better this season. So if Remco is up to that, fine, so be it, otherwise Remco can try to tackle Jonas this season, for podium.

Tour, Worlds, Lombardia ... Still plenty of opportunities left in the 2025 season.

TDF is undecided, but Worlds and Lombardia will go to Evenepoel in normal circumstances

When it comes to national campaign i feel the main contenders will likely indeed be Slovenia and Belgium. As for Lombardia, this season Rogla will likely even train for it.
