In my head, Roglic will ride the WC RR course behind the peloton, waving regally at the crowd and smiling enigmatically. This is what he did on Montmartre and it's now what I want to see from him every time he races, it was wonderful.
So we will see Roglic lifting his arms in Paris?I am not sure to be honest, 2026 will likely be all about the Tour.
Rogla can do it in front of the peloton too, for cameras. At Montmartre we only (luckily) got a couple of iconic pictures. Doing it at front, now that is a whole different story.

When is he going to Rwanda?
Ivan Romeo is already training in Kigali. He posted a story on his Instagram.
yes, either today or tomorrow, he has to try the parcours an adjust to the conditions (altitude)I believe he is there already
He's there tomorrow. At least that's what I expect since the national coach is there Wednesday.yes, either today or tomorrow, he has to try the parcours an adjust to the conditions (altitude)
This year he has a better team compared to last year. If he has the same legs, he will win. If not, it's important Roglic, Novak and Mohoric are strong enough to keep the race close until the last 60 km.
His odds to win the WCRR are too low. If he was racing for UAE, I could understand odds around 1.20-1.25, but with Slovenia should be higher. Definitely around 1.50
Del Toro has clearly said that he's going to win.His good buddies Sivakov and Del Toro will help. Not sure about Ayuso though![]()
Del Toro has clearly said that he's going to win.
He's a fast rider; he's not going to help someone else win.
I'm sure Del Toro will ride with Pogacar if both are ahead in the race.Del Toro has clearly said that he's going to win.

You put Sivakov in the same sentence, that's confusingI was semi-joking but if young upstart Del Toro doesn't help Lord Pogimort at the WC then he'll be riding only Mickey-Mouse races for the next few years.
If Roglic wants to have a chance he needs to go early. Like he did in TDF, other great riders will join him probably2 leaders but I can see Roglic leading out Pogacar in Kigali.

"In the national team there is no rivalry" – Tadej Pogacar chases double Rainbow in Rwanda as Primoz Roglic solely targets road race
Slovenia head to the 2025 Road World Championships in Kigali with Tadej Pogacar aiming to extend his reign in the rainbow jersey — not just on the road, but against the clock as well. Yet while the wo...cyclinguptodate.com

Yeah Pogacar has multiple options. He only comes in a difficult position if there's a decent group like at Quebec that was able to get away from the peloton. I think some decent riders will go before Mont Kigali, because they think Pogacar might attack there.Mont Kigali is a good place to go for some strong guys and Rogla can try there. If think it's too early for an all-out Pogacar's attack, unless a few strong guys attack and he joins. If there was 2-3 less local circuit laps afterwards then Pogacar could try to kill the race there.

I'm already happy Slovenia's team isn't that great. Otherwise they could've handed him the victory on a silver platter.
