Sorry ridiculously silly video. Regardless of what Slovenia DS or Tadej or Primoz have in mind why would they share their intentions in a press conference? Personally think pre-race cycling interviews may be the dumbest of any sport when asking riders to reveal their tactics in advance. It's not rocket science: unless Tadej and Primoz end up actively chasing each other down -- perhaps like Boyer and Lemond for US years ago (depends whose story you believe) -- having both going for the win, or at least their competitors thinking that's a possibility, is a plus for Slovenia.

Chris, TJV directors created the rift at last year Vuelta. Roglič stayed with Sepp, while Jonas was allowed to do that "For Nathan" bullshit move. Would you, in Rogla's shoes, not be pissed off and attack on the next stage?

One thing Chris Horner didn't notice is that Roglic is the greater beneficiary with pogacar on his team, if pogacar attacks early and the other Teams start to chase him hard, then there is a huge chance for Roglic to win. The only thing to do is to follow the Belgian, French, USA and the Dutch, and if they bring pogacar back then there is a huge chance for Roglic.
Mark my words .

Sadly junior rider Muriel Furrer died after her crash in the juniors race 😢

[milhouse]

Why should he reveal his plans? Both riders were vert coy. They have a plan and they dont need anyone to know

[fiddleronthebike]

if Roglic is not at 100% he certainly will ride for Pogacar - he has done that for Vingegaard and others before; and then we can expect him give all he has. But if he is at 100% I'm sure he will not sacrifice his own chance, after all it may be his last change to get the jersey! Then I expect him to stay patient (what he has learnt over the years...), and if Pogacar goes he will not be the one to chase him - he rather will follow all the riders from Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, and if they chase down Pogacar he then has a fair chance to beat them in the final, In any case, I expect an exciting race!

[josepheads]

I hope Roglic rides for himself. Pog is going to win either way and I prefer fireworks to teamwork!

[kmann]

Roglic or Vingegaard could have crushed Sepp any time they wanted in that Vuelta. But they let Kuss have it. Horner shit talking Roglic is some kind of weird assed biased bs.

[pauljansen]

Good evening dear might be wrong but I don't think Roglic is in the right condition to even be a factor in the absolute final of this timetrial suggested that in my eyes!

Mohorič is allready a 3 times world champion.

[mracer]

If Roglic ride against Poga but didn't manage to win himself, he might as well stay in Monaco and never go back to Slovenia!

[guitawrizt]

I suspect they'll finish together 'holding hands'.

[bendardania]

He(Roglic) did help Jonas catch Pogacar on stage 11 at TDF so I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t help. I saw Tadej today in training and he looked very intense.
Now, being that Roglic is getting old I do think he cares about his legacy. If he doesn’t help or worse messes Tadej’s chances to win not many people will be happy.

[HatRock]

Jumbo did a disaster move with Roglic that cost them Roglic to go out of the team. It wasn't Roglic stab on Sepp, it was Jumbo stab on Roglic.

[cooldude.]

I feel the dynamic between them will be similar to that between Remco and Wout at the past few WCs and this year's Olympics. Whoever has the better legs goes for it.

[donwell]

Of all this judgement to Roglic, one thing I'm sure and i doubt that Roglic would be happy to see Remco, MVDP or other winning the rainbow jersey. No way Roglic will allow such thing.

[coopersy]

Why don’t they just work together to the end, then have at the last K, let the best men win. Those two together would be a hell of a breakaway…

[cxbkpmf]

Fascinating point about Team Slovenia's loyalties... one super-domestique loyal to Tadej and the other to Primoz.

[wernererasmus]

I can't precisely remember, but I recall Jonas attacking Sep first 🤔

[lisakeller]

Jonas stabbed Sepp more than Primoz. Why do you give him a pass?
