In Rogličes case it was announced officially.
Still and AFAIK the final decision, about Giro (or Vuelta), hasn't be made yet.
Rogla knew at Visma already, he is doing Giro-Tour.
From fandom point of view he is, but the real decision hasn't been made yet.
Rogla will be away from his family for half a year, to complete Giro-Tour double goal. So yeah, after achieving this goal i don't feel much racing beyond Worlds it at play in the 2025 season. So all in all Rogla got mere 2 votes, out of 38 votes, but in the end he is the one that announced first and by doing that dropped the mic, other can now only follow. Lets hope it will look the same on the road too!
Every decision, thought or action in cycling today is about Pogacar, did you not get the memo?You guys always act as if everyone is scared of racing against Pogacar.
You missed the jumbo, Wolfpack, sky, Froome, Saxo, Contador, postal, Armstrong, etc. fan base erasEvery decision, thought or action in cycling today is about Pogacar, did you not get the memo?
In other words: have you seen these guys post this year? They are, frankly, quite abnormal.
That's normal as well. That's the only GT Pogacar isn't riding for sure so naturally Roglic picked it.
If you have to question what will Roglič ride after the Tour then Roglič didn't announce his full schedule, unlike Pogačar last year that annonuced all the races he would ride back in December ... you are great at dropping the mic at yourself Abi.
I hereby announce my official schedule for 2025:
Tour of Shajah
Tour de Taiwan
Nokere Koerse
Scheldeprijs
Giro d'Italia (I'll DNS because I'll be too exhausted after climbing the ramp up to the stage during the team presentation)
ZLM Tour
HTV Cup
Tour of Hainan
Tour of Taihu Lake
Tour of Qinghai Lake
Tour of Langkawi
Tour of Guangxi
Now let's see which riders will copy my calendar (Mareczko and Laas, I'm looking at you!) or try to avoid me (Pogi will be afraid...because I will likely crash into him due to my insufficient bike handling skills)
Vuelta of course. He hasn't announced if would do it or not.It's not official, that Pogi isn't riding Giro, feel free to correct me.
What else in your opinion should Rogla ride after the Tour, beside Worlds? Considering the already officially announced schedule.
Vuelta of course. He hasn't announced if would do it or not.
I don’t understand why roglic isn’t racing suisse as it’s missing from his historic week stage race palmares
Is Rogla the only one who have won 6/7 of the big one week stage races?Roglič already is a record holder without ToS. With winning ToS he will only extend the lead. A challenge for some future season, just like fifth Vuelta. The main goal for 2025 season is Giro-Tour, long overdue.
The decision was already made Abi, but they didn’t revealed to the press, it's like doing1+1=2.Guys i get it, fandom predicting Pogi will ride Vuelta is more likely then riding Giro, that is not disputed as such. The thing is the decision wasn't made yet and we are still waiting for announcement and AFAIK it can still go both ways.

Confirmed: Primož Roglič to target Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in 2025 for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe
Slovenian to head back to the Corsa Rosa for the first time since taking overall victory in 2023www.cyclingnews.com
So from this thread point of view things should now be settled. The contender with fewest votes won, such an underdog.

"An easy decision" - Primoz Roglic confirms that Giro-Tour combo for 2025 was clear for him
The Giro d'Italia has had it's first big star confirming the goal of overall win in 2025, as Primoz Roglic will lead a very strong Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe in search of the pink jersey. The German...cyclinguptodate.com
ExactlyPogi hasn't announced if he will ride Clasica de San Remco. 🤔
Pogacar released his schedule first im sorry if that hurt your feelings but cmon, surely at this point your just joking.Not true. It was officially announced that Vuelta isn't a part of Rogičes schedule for the 2025 season and on who the leaders will be over there. Fifth Vuelta win will be attempted in some other season.
The decision was already made Abi, but they didn’t revealed to the press, it's like doing1+1=2.
Obviously he will not go the Giro.
Then we could argue that the decision by Jonas and Remco was already made but wasn't revealed to the press. Hence Jonas and Remco are the real winners, from this thread perspective. Sorry guys but it's Rogla that said i am doing Giro-Tour first and that was that. The rest are still scheming on where Rogla has already put his heart out and committed. No need to blame the youngsters for it, it comes with the age.
Remco plans probably were canceled after what happened to him.Then we could argue that the decision by Jonas and Remco was already made but wasn't revealed to the press.

Jonas schedule is certainly already decided, but they didn’t revealed yet.
Can they though?P.S. They can all still win actual races, though.
@CyclistAbi the long range defence is real, that's why probably Jonas, tadej and remco are afraid of going to the Giro, facing the classy Rogla.
