We know you you think will win, but who do you want to win?

For me, it's:

  1. Primoz Roglic
  2. Matteo Jorgenson
  3. Remco Evenepoel
  4. Tadej Pogacar in a close battle
  5. Jonas Vingegaard in a close battle

That's an easy one.

For the beauty of it it's easy to see how Primož Roglič in yellow in Paris would be one for the history books of sport - all categories and disciplines included.

But professional sport is a cruel mistress and dreams rarely come true. Hard data suggests it'll be a fantasy and remain one.

Primoz winning TdF would be beautiful story. I need him winning TdF, Pogacar Vuelta and WC TT, Jonas WC RR and Remco Lombardia. I think that would be good/great result for everyone and great for cycling.

Hmm genuinely quite an interesting poll result, not quite the outcome I was expecting. Then again...


Of course. Most relatable, most 'man of the people', humble background, not middle class or wealthy family, extremely difficult path into professional cycling which involved working as a janitor and selling his motorbike (the fact he even made it is almost miraculous, let alone was successful), mountain sprinter aka puncheur so he wins a lot (but loses a lot as well), famous for overcoming adversity and has the driest most hilarious interviews whilst always remaining fair play when he loses.

Cool guy, even when he never wins the Tour. Easy to cheer for as well because of everything that can go wrong and will go wrong.

It's just a shame that races he wins tend to be unwatchable

As always, I want to see at least three guys, or even five battle to the end. I like most of these young guys so I'm OK with any of them winning. If I have to pick, just kidding!

The only Vuelta you can arguably say that about was the Covid edition.

I thought people loved that one. Lots of tension, Rog's death on Formigal then Rebirth on Montcalvillo. Froome organizing a rider strike over sprint stage versus mountain stage time gap calculations, Rog getting dropped on the Angliru and then the grand finale, i.e. Movistar saving Rog's Vuelta win because Spain loves Rogla and Rogla loves Spain.

Roglic' reputation was made when people complained their way through the 2020 Tour. Then the 2023 Giro people made up their mind midway throught the Giro anyway when he attacked any time basically almost every time he could after the first rest day.

The uphill sprinty boy thing has been a bigger feature in stage races and 1.pro races than the GTs

This must be a bad joke. A lot of his Vuelta wins were due to gaining time on uphill sprints and TTs.
