Roglic doesn't have a chance. He is not that good anymore.
You are constantly underestimating Roglič. He was second in Giro TT this year (a second behind Tarling despite a flat course) and third in Peyragudes. On a hilly TT course like in Rwanda, he is easily among top 5 favourites.

Of course, Pogačar is no. 1 favourite on a hilly TT course like that. And this might be one of the reasons he skips Vuelta (in addition to fatigue). There will never be a more suitable TT course and thus a better chance for Pogačar's WC TT title than this year. Add to that he wants to defend his RR rainbow jersey and finish the season with record 5th consecutive Lombardia.

No, I'm not underestimating him. I never said he wasn't able to get a medal, I just said he can't win. Why am I underestimating?
 
Vuelta team announced. Tadej is not going.

Another Visma win in a GT
11GT. The most dominant team in GT since Sky, but they don't complain about that dominance much.

It's a stupid detail, but they put Ayuso in the photo as if he were the first leader.

I wonder what Almeida thinks about being promised the leadership if Pogacar didn't go and now they do this to him.

They'll keep saying Ayuso is mistreated in the team when he leads GT and several races every year.
And I don't believe that age suddenly doesn't matter for the UAE. This is a consequence of the blackmail of leaving the team.
