Actually, Bernal gave Froome a podium in Tour 2018. Without his help Roglic would have his first podium.

Correct. Furthermore, his back hasn't been normal in God knows how many years due to leg length discrepancy. It was diagnosed in October 2020, but one can only guess for how long scoliosis and a disc herniation was a factor, even when he was winning.Bernal was stuck during lockdowns and wasn't able to train normally and then tried to rush his training to get ready, if i remember correctly.
Poor Roglic. At least this year he can beat Remco, the future Tour de France winner, at the Giro. Something that he couldn't do against Carapaz and Nibali.
And don't get me started with the Vuelta that was gifted to him by Movistar!
Yessir...you don't win any major race twice without strength and tactical skill (what many call boringly calculating). Winning a third time just means you own your effort and the result. Losers can whine all they want, then.Yeah, for three times.
All answers to his form coming in about 12 hours.which led us to believe the 10 secs lost today was more about lack of form than racing sharpness & positioning..?
....I don't really get the long term worry. He proved in San Juan that he could get to a high level and then he got sidelined by a different injury.
How can you know it's a different injury and not a consequence (possibly chronic/structural) of his accident?I don't really get the long term worry. He proved in San Juan that he could get to a high level and then he got sidelined by a different injury.

The worry is more about figuring out if he is every going to get back to his best, and I don't think San Juan proved that he can. I wouldn't even call that such a high level when Ganna finishes before you.I don't really get the long term worry.

I don't understand what you mean by that?When you ride for many hours, you sweat. Some riders have more sudation in their hands too. Gloves provide more grip but are ambiguous as they loosen sensitivity.
Also, gloves also are cushioned, so your hands don't become so sour.
Contador is wrong. It's not only about aesthetics.
