I don't even know if we will have a fight between Remco and Pogi. Pogi is clearly on another level and can't really see Remco being able to follow Pogi's explosiveness.

In a one day race, after rest following the Tour I would put the odds closer to even. Still an edge to Tadej but Remco should be ready but for the TT title calling his name. That's the sure thing and probably his emphasis.

If were in Pog's shoes and my GF were the top female cyclist in the country and the national champion in both TT and road disciplines, and she were excluded from the team in favor of a lesser rider, I would drop out of the Olympics as well.
All of you dudes on here, please raise a hand if you would not.

If you're going to do that, at least make it clear that's why you're doing it. Say you are protesting that and that makes it more effective. Don't just say that you are doing it because of fatigue and make that excuse

Hopefully this is a public power play towards the Slovenian federation and that he can still be persuaded to ride the Olympics.

I actually think its the best option besides it never really was in his plans from the start was it, the plan was never for him to go here originally!

Also what he just did and how he did it, the double, finished of by this Tour performance its unprecedented and not only the numbers he did on the climbs alone also the feat. Rest is important while he looked fresh its easy to forget he is human, rest is key now.

Also considering the course is not the best for him though it doesnt need to matter to him at all indeed but nevertheless he have biggers fish to frie later in the season. Rest is key now.

It is a smart move and he is not giving up a sure thing at the Olympics. Maybe a shot a medal, he already has one, but difficult to win on this course. Mohoric is an outsider and could do something here.

Try to win worlds instead, where the route suits him much better.

Enjoy and celebrate winning the double.

He deserves good vacation after the double. He was pretty gassed when trying WC last year (almost passed out after the finish). I can't imagine him not being tired after the double effort so why going over the limit? WC is the big goal for the last part of the season (plus Lombardy, which comes afterwards) and after the break he should be able to prepare for them optimally, there's enough time for that.

Exactly. Rest is key now. Then take the crown.
