Small correction: Roglic and Vingegaard were co-leaders in 2022, and that was what helped them win the Tour. Being able to isolate Pogacar from his team and then attacking him continously with two GC threats on stage 11 was what broke Pogi.

75 is good but not that great though? there are super talents in the 90's even 100. But maybe ski jumping is a complete non endurance sport and the fact that he didnt train endurance and had 75 was good? I dont know.

You can argue about that, but what is sure, is that there are plenty riders who achieved (sometimes far) more than Roglic and never won the Tour. A lot of them weren't GT material, but still... Think about Sean Kelly, Alejandro Valverde, Roger De Vlaeminck, Francesco Moser, Alfredo Binda, Rik Van Looy, Constante Girardengo, Fabian Cancellara, Laurent Jalabert, Tony Rominger, Guiseppe Saronni, Freddy Maertens.

[@DynamiteDB]

@@l.d.t.6327 you can’t compare one day cyclists to GT riders. A lot of those guys you mentioned are one day specialists. That’s not what Roglics focuses on as a cyclist. Roglic is most likely the best GT riders to never win a TDF. Heaps of people say WVA is a better cyclist than Roglic and I don’t see how that’s true. Results-wise Roglic blows WVA out of the water. They have both won one monument each. WVA is a monster at the TDF however he seems to be on a skid. You can’t compare them, yes WVA is a better one day cyclist than Roglic however Roglic is a better stage race cyclist than WVA. One is a one day specialist and the other is a GT specialist.

[@DynamiteDB]

How do you come to that conclusion? Raymond only won 1 Vuelta where a Roglic has won 3 plus a Giro. They have both finished 2nd in the TDF. Also Roglic blows him away in his results at one week stage races. Roglic has won every one week stage race besides the Swiss Tour. Coming up short 8 times doesn’t make the you best rider to never win the TDF. It’s based on who has the best results without winning the TDF.

19:50 The question is how tired Vingegaard will be. If Vingegaard is near his best, Roglic has no chance to win the Vuelta. At least Roglic must have been pleased to see Vingegaard avenge the Planche des Belles Filles time trial by crushing Pogacar even worse in this Tour's time trial.

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

Good chance he will be tired. Not many managed to win multiple of the Big three in 1 calendar year, let alone win win back to back. Time between the two is relatively short, usually not enouygh to fully recuperate from the previous one. Winning a Giro, then a Vuelta is more "doable" I guess.

WVA is on a skid. I think we are starting to see the downside of his career. His 2023 season was pretty ordinary, he only won 1 race from memory. Now he also has a pretty bad crash to deal with which requires surgery. A lot of people love WVA but is he really as good as people make out? I don’t think so, he’s just really loved. He’s only won one monument. His results at the tour are super impressive but thats it. I’m not saying he’s bad but I just don’t think he’s as good as people make out and I don’t think people realise that his palmares isn’t that great compared to others.

Good video, only what it's missing I feel like you really rushed it at the end. Not showing how much even Roglic helped Vingegaard to win TDF where he completely sacrifised himself while being injured, redemption how he won giro on last time trial etc.

[@alshoutcasting9101]

I think you're being a bit harsh on Roglic for crashes, while yes they have been a significant problem costing him 2021's Paris Nice and 2019's Giro most notably, his crashes in the 2021 and 2022 editions of the Tour De France were not his fault. 2021 had the now infamous 1st week with 3 Jumbo Visma riders dnf'ing, beginning with the stage 1 "Allez opi omi" sign crash that caught Jumbo Visma at the head of the peloton, and then further incidents that plagued the first week of the tour with terribly designed final sections resulting in many riders going down and Roglic dnf'ing after loosing significant time at the first mountain stage dropping nearly 20 mins. 2022 also was a pretty chaotic first week of the tour with some pretty terrible crashes, not as bad overall as 2021, but for Roglic on stage 6 he'd clip a hay bale positioned horrendously close to the track, and in a technical chicane. He would finish the stage dropping some time, but he dislocated his shoulder at this time, and later would be found to have possibly fractured 2 vertebrae. The fact that he didn't immediately dnf from the tour was impressive, and his heroics in stage 11 absolutely slaughtering Pogacar and UAE in route to securing Vingegaard the initial lead on gc that would only extend with some amazing efforts from Wout played a pivotal role in Pogacar winning the TDF. His winning of the GIro this year proved that he is still a force to contend with and gives him a poetic final major win to his career. I don't think that he will ever win the TDF, that window has come and gone, Vingegaard is simply an alien and a close second to Pogacar, and with him in Jumbo Visma, I can't see Roglic getting another shot at GC as well in the TDF, he's pretty loyal to Jumbo Visma so I think hes gonna run out the rest of his career with them, but given how close this last Giro was, and the fact that his competition wasn't quite the level as the TDF this year (Geraint Thomas, Joao Alemeida, Thibaut Pinot rounding out the gc at the Giro with Remco Evanepoel retiring from the race with covid19 while still in the maglia rosa at the time with quite the lead) I'd doubt that we will be graced with a Roglic win at the TDF. That being said, I hope to god that TJV decide that 2024 is going to be another wierd dual GC TDF and have Roglic Ride as the GC along with Vingegaard, and task Sepp Kuss with the lead GC mantle at the other world tours, maybe even Wout at those, as he'd definitely be a solid option. Although realistically Vingegaard is just the way to go, hes younger, is the defending TDF champ, currently leading the GC and doesn't have the same volitility as Roglic. I say all of this as a massive Roglic Fan and TJV fan, I've been a big fan of Roglic for a while, and have thoroughly enjoyed watching him and cheered him whenever he races, I'd love to see him win the Tour, it would be a fitting achievement that would cement him in legacy as one of the greatest and most unlikely stories in all of cycling history. However I don't think that he even needs to do this to be remembered as an all time great. He 100% has a few more stage race gc's in his bag, and I'm excited to see him at this year's Vuelta, the absolutely heinous course that they have devised for this years rendition will definitely suit him and the fact it has team time trial will always benefit TJV as they have arguably the most stacked lineup of any world tour team. It might be fireworks at the vuelta, or it could be a cake walk for roglic but either way hes going down in history as an all time great with or without a GC win at the Tour.

Although I get creating a narrative of his fearlessness being the reason behidn all his crashes is something u want when trying to make a video on someones career in several sports. Howeve,r it may have been true for his skijumping crash, but there is a different reason for the ones in his cycling years. Lack of experience. Riding in a peloton and positioning there during long races, is a skill u learn over many years, most riders who make it to pros do this since their (early) youth, him coming in so late at 21 means he hasn't, and it caused most of his crashes whilst in the peloton. And whiel fearlessness may have played a part in some of his other crashes, many can be explained by lack of steering ability and knowing how to go around corners at fast pace, something u need to learn over many years too.

Saronni, Zabel, Maertens and Sagan (and arguably van Looy and de Vlaeminck) could never think of winning a Tour de France. So Roglic still needs a few more successes elsewhere to get amongst the top ten of great riders with any kind of chance who failed to close the deal.

Obviously this refers to riders who are capable of winning it but never have, while some on your list fit that, many don't. As you said, the likes of Zabel and Sagan could never hope that have a chance, they arent as allround as is needed to win such a Tour. Roglic clearly does.

The thing is he has always been the second best or the 3rd best. I think there is definitely others that should be considered the best to never to win. Hes just the best not to win in the last 5-10 years. He is going for the second most contested races in the giro and vuelta. And thats where the second or third best wins. As you cannot do either if you do tdf. The schedule is too tight to recover. So hes a very good and elite rider but he lacks that last umpf to be the best. But also in giro and vuelta I dont see him beating Remco - except when he pulls out of the race as in the giro this year.

[@shema02]

Roglic is one of the greatest

[@goncalomendes2759]

Roglic is One of the greatest that has ever raced. His best form is still ahead of him. He can beat Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel. People like you want to write his story and make your narrative. He is behind Froome, the rider with the most grand tours who aren t retired. Put some respect on his name

[@goncalomendes2759]

And that Evenepoel stuff? Stage 8 of This giro tells everything i needed to know. Oh and by the way, he still beat remco at Catalunya

[@cartermoth6447]

Remco is the strongest... when he doesn't race. It's funny how stuff like the Tour de Suisse (aka when Remco underperforms) just gets ignored & doesn't count.

[@merjasc1]

Roglic was 2nd on the tour and 1st in vuelta on the same year,so it can bw done to win 2 GTs in a year. He was mighty close

Primoz will win TDF 2024

[@CardinalDoctor]

Do you think Roglic has a chance to win the tour de france in the future or has his time past?

[@TrueSportsLore]

If he goes to Ineos he has a chance

[@exa0247]

Damn I never thought about that, so hopefully he goes to ineos, when his contract expires? Hope is very soon

[@luiscolon921]

Jonás crushes him, especially in the 3rd week.

[@Jan-se1nd]

No. Not with a fit Vingegaard there too. As it is, there's isn't a pro rider that can beat Jonas' numbers in week three of a GT when fit. Best bet for the coming years will most likely continue to be Pogacar if he's willing to prioritise the Tour over all else.

[@danielrosenke1758]

So Roglic > Basso?? I think not.

The best cyclist to never win the Tour de France is Nairo Quintana

[@mabelrempel]

'Promosm' 👀

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Wee bit different rider, not actually a GC/3 week guy, although he did win the Vuelta, KING KELLY. Best cyclist,by far, not to win the Tour. Again, not really a TDF type.

[@user-jh1fm9qe6i]

Perhaps went into the '83 tour as favourite with Hinault absent and led into the mountains but heat and climbs proved too much, finishing 7th behind the debut winner Fignon. Three more top tens in the '80s followed (never better than 4th in '85) with crashes ruining any chances from '86 to '88. Too talented to miss the classics and required by sponsors to ride every race in Spain, France was always ridden at the end of months of frenetic activity.

I hope POG wrecks Jonas on tour this year and Jumbo decides to go with Primoz next year and that he gets his first in 2024.

[@Jan-se1nd]

Aged well.

[@username8644]

Richie Porte was the best to never win. Just saying.

[@pascalb.7126]

Roglic just won the last giro cause evenepoel had to go home for nothing...it s no true victory. This man would win nothing when the opponents would have been stronger in giro and vuelta. He struggled so much in his career. So much chances with jumbo. He s nothing compared to other performances in the past and athletes. Sorry.

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

And Evenepoel wouldn't have won Vuelta with Roglic still in it. Mark my words pin this. Evenepoel never wins another grand tour ever again!

[@pascalb.7126]

@@Kvs-vf9nt evenepoel is 23 years old, he will a lot grand tours. Much more than roglic.

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

@@pascalb.7126 I say no. Only when competition is weak yeah. Normally there are big names in Vuelta. But last year there was nobody. I mean if Mas can be second in a GC... Where is the time that TDF competitors started the Vuelta too.

[@MDP1702]

@@Kvs-vf9nt Last years field was perfectly normal for the Vuelta. If you call that Vuelta win not worth much, than the same count for Roglic's Vuelta wins. And Evenepoel showed only weakness on 2 stages after he got injured, after those 2 stages he never showed weakness again.

[@TSEEMOD_618]

Yet. Yet.

He is also the best cyclist that never had seven member support team on TdF. Courtesy of his team background games.
