Roglic got heavy surgery in mid october 2022, and the team was sceptical he could be back to top form by the Giro. Even racing Tirreno was ahead of schedule.
I don't say PN but Volta a Catalunya should be perfect to get miles before Ardennes.
This is why I think either there is a little bit of BS going on, or that he is getting some silly advice. There is really no reason why he cannot do indoor training. Sure, he might have to modify it or shorten it, but he could be doing it, it's not like it needs to be 100% rest. And we know some people have done very well after extended periods of indoor training.
Seems like the nerve damage is manageable. looks to be staying relatively fit through rehab. i don't mean race fit or cycling fit. I mean he is moving about and getting some workouts in.
Relatively fit? I found him quite bulky, but I get he didn't have the opportunity to lose that weight.
He absolutely does not have the same power as Ganna. But he has a lower cda which is very handy at high speeds. His time trial position is extremely low thanks to his build and mobility.
I like watching it. It gives you an insight in day to day life of riders. I get that from the moment he needs to host and talk about what he’s doing, it’s very cringeworthy. He doesn’t have that presence at all. Completely different from when you interview him after a race. But I can look past that just to see how his recovery is going.
Can’t imagine he’ll be good enough during Ardennes classics
Probably not. Yet it's Remco, so i'm hoping for a miracle Brabantse Pijl win. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll be good enough to truly compete against pogacar in the Ardennes.
As long as he doesn't try to peak for it, and just keeps on building/riding for TDF and WC
Nope, just training and steadily building form. No news is good news I guess.
