Large victories are already behind? Perspectives of a star of the priest Roglich | Cycling

The Roglich won three out of the last four Grand Curbs, in which he came to the finish line, but at the same time, he did not finish four of the last seven super -magnificents where he started. Quite eloquent statistics, which briefly and, at the same time, comprehensively describes the whole career of the star Slovenian. Giro D’italia-2025 brought a rider Red Bull Bora Another failure: he He came down from the distance In the 16th stage.

The causes of the ladder of the Roglich are always the same: falling, falling and falling again. Moreover, most often it is not about one difficult fall that instantly knocks out the racing, but about a series, each of which is not too complicated separately, but together they create a cumulative effect that at some point impairs Roglich’s well -being to the state in which there is no sense.

So it was on this year’s Jiro, where the Slovenets fell four times, and to the mountain 15 stage came in a far from optimal condition. Despite the fact that the 15th stage was not too selective, the priest lost it for one and a half minutes to direct competitors in the overall standings, retreating to 10 place and practically apologizing with the chances of a pink T -shirt in Rome.

The Slovenets considered the possibility of the East on the day of rest, but decided not to give up and continue the fight. Shortly: At the start of rainy 16 stage captain Red Bull Bora It fell again, and it became the last drop that made him get in a technician.

Falling in races is often accepted for bad time, but this is not exactly about Roglich. He had so many such incidents that systematicity could not be noticed here: the prominent problems with the technique of bicycle management.

The causes of these problems are no less obvious. Roglich came to cycling very late – at the age of 22. Most of his rivals began cycling at an early age and gaining a fable from preschool years. And the career path of Slovenian is the best testimony because it is impossible to compensate for the absence of these skills in adulthood, as if you do not try. It also confirms the example of another super -star of modern cycling, Ramco Evenepula, who was engaged in football and played for the youth team of Belgium under the age of 17.

Roglich came into cycling with skiing from a springboard – a sport that is as demanding as possible to coordinate movements and reaction. However, even the jump background, as we can see, does not save the priest from all the problems that he has to deal with in cycling.

Be that as it may, the East of this year’s Jiro makes a lot of questions about the future Roglich. Is he still capable of winning great victories? Did he turn into a « whipped pilot »? Complex questions that are not clearly answered.

It is likely that the tour de France France is possible: he lost his golden chance in 2020, when the young Tadei Pogachar stole his yellow jersey from his nose, shocking his compatriot in the section of de Belle Fij. Last year, he showed that even the optimally finished roglich is capable of fighting on the « big loop » maximum for third place, not for victory.

Win another Giro? It seems that 2025 was the last chance: Pogachar and Jonas Wingegor after a long reflection still refused to participate in Kors Rose, and Evenepul wanted to come to Italy, but was forced to change his plans due to severe injury in December.

In 2026, at least two of the above three are very likely. And to beat one of them Roglich is unlikely to be able to: Pogachar and Ventgehor in another league, Evenepul was an equal rival for the prime round in the last year, and time in this duel is definitely not on the side of Slovenian. Do not forget about the new generation led by Isaac del Toro. Or the same partner Roglich on Red Bull Bora Julio Pellicezari, who was so vividly revealed after the Slovenets came down with Jiro. Rivals stronger than Roglich by class or at least potential are becoming more and more.

Fifth in his career to win a vult, becoming an absolute record holder on this indicator? It would seem that the great, however, at the same time, a completely realistic goal – the Spanish Grand Tour is perfect. However, in 2025, the Slovenets does not plan to go a vulp (he has a program of Tour de France), and at the time of Velta-2026 rider Red Bull Bora It will be without two months 37-the age is very serious in any case.

Fight for victory on monuments? If you make a somewhat random victory on Liege-Baston-Liezh-2020, then the great success on top-day one-day roglich did not seek, and it is difficult to believe that at the final stage of the career, he will be able to challenge such monsters as Pogachar and Mathere Van der Pul.

Certainly, the class and basic level of Slovenian are not beyond doubt. And he was perfectly manifested at the beginning of the current season: while all Red Bull Bora She failed and did not get much to the level of expectations, Roglich calmly won the Catalonia tour. Yes, as if he were not from this team – the Slovenian crisis in the team did not influence at all.

Roglich’s agreement with Red Bull Bora It operates by the end of this year, the next contract is likely to be the last in his career. The gap is still capable of winning the top weekly long days and climbing the catwalks. However, it looks like nothing more. Will such successes affect Roglich’s historical heritage? Unlikely.

The Slovenets got into a closed circle: those goals that are still capable of motivating it are already unattainable for him, and those who are achievable will no longer cause the required level of enthusiasm. Ideal prerequisites for the final years of Roglich’s careers to turn from the pursuit of dreams to routine their work to replenish your bank account.
