I have to see it to believe it, definitely. Despite how he comes off to the masses, people who have followed the sport knows he's extremely driven and above and beyond all wants the best result for himself everytime he races.

Who is the best in a flat sprint? Pogacar? Was just wondering if they go to the finish with ~10 riders, and both Roglic and Pogacar are there. Who is the leader. I guess Pogacar, but not 100% sure

Rider of Roglic's calibre isn't going there to domestique, I assume the tactic will be something along the lines of staying on Evenepoel's wheel with Pogacar attacking, especially since they have no Van Aert now. Course is a little too hard for VDP but the last iteration of the climb finishes 20k from the finish with some short lumps and a descent after it so some kind of tactical insurance is required alongside 'nuke for Pogacar' as there is potential for a reduced group at the end.

Pog is way better in a flat sprint at this point. Roglic barely does flat sprints anymore for good reasons I might add.

This is a guess of what the 2025 route would look like, although I don‘t think there‘s anything official yet

Its not ever yet (Pogacar's amazing season). Would be amazing if he can grab the rainbow stripes after everything he has already achieved this year. But it seems a tough ask on that route. I think Remco will like his chances after how he won Wollongong. It might come back to who holds their form best after the Tour?

Route is perfect for him and he will have Roglic, Tratnik, Mohoric, Novak. 4 guys very solid in this type of terrain. I believe Roglic will not perform well and will try to help Pogacar somewhere.

Considering Rogla just won the Vuelta in dominant fashion and Pogi's form is a bit of unknown, Slovenia should be all in for Roglič. Pogi should have a superdom/joker role like Lipowitz had at Bora during the Vuelta. Or even better a 100% joker role like Soler for example.

It's quite hard to avoid making a very hilly route in Kigali, though. Plus I think the organisers would love it to be a super memorable WC, and I think a pivotal accent up Mount Kigali would do that.

At local "Tour for good cause" Pog's father was asked a few questions about Pog's beginning.

The first Pog's bike was a used BMX from his cousin, and he rode it at the age of four. When father was asked what he ate as a child to become such a champion, he answered: "Pancakes with cottage cheese and bread dumplings. But when he started cycling trainings, only macaroni were on the menu all day long."

I mean Pogi sometimes kills the race 80 k from the line even when he is the sole leader of the team, so it effectively makes no difference if they give him the Lipowitz role. Always nice to have Rogla in G2 ready to beat Remco in the sprint of he decides to kill himself to pull back Pogi.

edit: several spelling mistakes, sorry for the ones I missed

I can't see Rogla performing well on this kind of profile. Other than 2020 LBL win his track record on this kind of routes is really not very impressive. That is why I believe there is a 0 chance of "all in" for Roglic but they might play dark horse card with him.
