Question Who is the third best GT rider?

[CyclistAbi]

I love how much you love Rogla, but he's clearly behind the pair. He probably races the Tour in support of Lipo/Remco and then tackles the Vuelta to get to 5.

And if Rogla wins the Tour, then he won't pop up in such poll?

Probably not, because if he somehow wins it this year I'd say he retires.

I see if Rogla wins the Tour he won't pop up in such poll, but only due to the age. Crazy criteria. I could swear the criteria is made up as we go. But OK, off season is still long, no need to drag this one any longer, at least not before Christmas.

If that happens I would be cheering. But sadly that ain’t happening now. His big missed chance was 2020.

I still voted for Roglic (based on his GT pedigree) even though this year may've changed it already. He had zillion crashes at the Giro and antibiotics preparation for the Tour so no chance to fully show his abilities. Still he had glimpses in this chaos (i.e. Catalunya win and strong fresh w/kg efforts in Peyreguades and Ventoux). I would give him one more clean shot at a GT before declaring he's down in hierarchy.
