With Roglic they got everything, despite he crashing everywhere, everytime, without him they will not get nothing, karma is a bit€h.Yup, they will loan Rogla only for the Tour! Bora will get some pocket money for it and Hindley will lead the team. Everybody happy.
They sure are. Those guys were good for 20 wins a year or more. They’ve also had injuries to Laporte and Van Baarle. If everyone was healthy they’d be doing just fine, I think. (Jury is still out on Cian as a replacement for Roglic.)Visma looking very plain without Roglic, WvA & Vinge

Didn't Tratnik also lose a couple of spring classics due to sickness?At this point I fully expect half their Tour team to get kidnapped by Aliens and their Vuelta team gets sucked in by a black hole into another dimension
