Primoz and tadej are at completely different levels
Chris, thank you for your work. I haven't missed any of your videos.
Regarding the drama you mentioned within the Slovenian team, I believe it's being blown out of proportion. From what I understand, Roglič has agreed to support Pogačar — unofficially, of course. He'll act as a backup in case something happens to Pogačar early in the race, But later, he will work for Pogacar.
I think Roglič knows that Pogačar is better prepared for the World Championships. Pogačar has been focusing on this event for the last two months, while Roglič was busy racing in Spain. This situation also reminds me of why Roglič didn’t work for Kuss last year — because Roglič had been training specifically for the Vuelta, but was then restricted from racing for the win.
If you’ve trained hard for a particular race and been promised leadership, you should at least have a fair shot at competing for victory. Last year, Jumbo-Visma should have let Roglič, Vingegaard, and Kuss race each other. The team still would have secured the top three spots, but in a different order. Kuss likely wouldn't have won in that scenario.
i don't think roglic expects any help from pogacar (and most of the team), i hope he does his own thing and doesn't help pogacar.
Pointless speculation.
As a Slovenian – Roglic is a super nice guy, incredibly lovable and might actually have more fans in Slovenia because of his personality and the constant injuries. But there’s no way in hell Pogacar is giving the road race away to anyone. He openly said at the beginning of the season that one of his main goals this year is the rainbow jersey. And he appears to have legs at least as good as they were in the Tour. And it’s funny, even in Slovenia no one has the slightest idea what the relationship between Roglic and Pogacar actually is. Honestly, if Pog doesn’t win it might actually be the biggest upset of the season. Awesome video as always Chris! ❤🦋
Do u think roglic have options to get a medal in the time trial
nah dude, they're very good friends, i don't expect any issues between them at all 😀
Thanks Chris and Garrett , any word on Wout ?

The Slovenian coach said in interview that plan is everybody ride for Pog and hopefully that we have 2 podium……and Rogla podium on TT
I'm really glad that MVDP has great form again. And the race going to be more exciting 🙂 ❤
🤷🏼
how does a country with 2 million people have not just 2 of the best riders in the world… but a whole suite of support riders who are among the best at what they do? I'll have what they're having….
Now Evenapoel must be getting angst..but now is his time to play with the big boys…this is so exciting..
We as slovenians are in the most golden of times and will probably never get a situation like this ever again. To think that before Primož we didn't even have a top 10 gc rider and now we have two elite ones.
what do the team members get for helping their teammates?
Also, probably we do not remember how Roglic worked so hard for Steven Kruijswijk's bid to win the GC in the dramatic 2016 Giro. Obviously, everything changed for Roglic after his stage victory in the 2017 Tour.
I think there is no doubt that Pogi is the number 1. Primož is some kind of fake favorite. 270+km race not suits him.
Surely Belgium and the Dutch would be mad to ride with Slovenia? Pog is number 1 favourite, it's unlikely Remco or MVdP can beat him one on one. They should sit back, let chaos reign and pray they get to take advantage.
It is mind-boggling for me as a Slovenian to be discussing which of our two this year's GT winners can become the WC on the 29th. And it's insane also that they have managed to get all our 7 WT cyclists to participate in addition to a CT one. It really is a golden era for cycling fans in Slovenia these days. Personally, I hope Roglic helps Pogacar get the triple crown just like Kelly helped Roche back in the day at the WC.
Just to be clear…. is Primož Roglič number #2 ranked rider on this show for 2024? I figure Criterium du Dauphine and Vuelta a Espana trumps the Tour of Poland, O Gran Camino and Tirreno-Adriatico wins by Jonas.
If Roglic gets a medal in TT he will 100% help Pogacar.
#1 🇸🇮 Tadej #2 🇹🇩 Remco #3 🇸🇮 Primos Long Race tough course. Should be a great Race! 👍🏼🚵🏾♂️💯
I'm hopeful they have a "Jack and Arnie" type relationship.
The guy who struggled against Mas in the Vuelta is somehow supposed to drop Pogacar?
