He was better even on Cipressa.

Good thing he’ll race soon and can potentially jump up the leadership ladder.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Roglic was better in Milano Torino than Remco here IMO

Sub 200 km basically unipuerto stage, his bread and butter. Evenepoel at least has the “excuse” of crashing

 

[MLKarlos]

Tuckwell is better than Boiches in this roll and has shown it in Catalunya

He was really strong

 

[Divergence]

*** blew up in Germany post Tour with Lipowtiz, still is but media is being managed correctly.

No, he did not.

So who will be the Tour leader?
Remco? (the biggest balls)
Lipo? (supported by the sponsors)
Rogla? (called up from vacations in the last moment to save the situation)
Hindley? (as a compromise between the previous three)
Or maybe that Etxebarria guy? (who'll lead the Basque Race with Rogla as a super dom )
The stakes are high: their leader (surrounded by such an armada) will be in the pole position to win the Tour!

Based on what we have seen so far they will go with Remco and Lipo and ride for dominant two 2nd places and 7th and 9th in GC. But pretty dominant.

And why wouldn't they finish 3rd and 4th?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Because they‘re not a certain amazing ex-ski jumper.

 

[Divergence]

They are not the 3rd and 4th best GT riders.

Who are?

 

[Divergence]

Rog, Ayuso, IDT and a few others are certainly better

 

[YavorD]

Okay, making a case that Ayuso is better GT rider than Evenepoel is strange.
Ayuso is better one week rider (results speak for themselves), but in GTs, that's steep .


But yes, the chances of Evenepoel not competing for the GC podium are probably (well) above 50%, so good amount of riders are better bet than him.

They even might be lucky enough to get one podium from dedicated sprint train that they'll also send.

 

[Berniece]

2 riders that have never won a GT or stood next to Vingegaard and Pogi on a podium. And Roglic isn’t even riding the TDF…

Results from the past don't count, and there are 2 more GT's

Lipo and Remco I guess. Trying to podium both of them. Unless both of them somehow takes such a leap that they are both better or equal climbers to Pogi, they can easily manage two leaders.
UAE and maybe sometimes Visma will destroy the peloton on key stages and Pogi will attack and behind it will be every man for himself, more or less.

Lipo isn't just supported by the sponsors, he finished 3rd last term and was arguably the 3rd best GC rider in 2025, and him being younger than both riders ahead of him in that pecking order, it makes total sense.

Remco is their shiny new toy and they will show him off on the biggest stage. Also they probably still reckons Remco has the highest ceiling when it comes to 3 weeks.

I don't know if it was Roglic idea to go all in on winning the 5th Vuelta, but seems like that is their plan, and I kinda like it. Hoping he can beat a tired Pogi to the honors.

Hindley had his shot at leading the line in the Tour. Brutal world, but it is what it is.

 

[LongtimeLurker]

No, he did not.

Based on this reply, I understand how much you don't know which makes replying to you more understandable.
