- Is Bora-Hansgrohe Really The RIGHT CHOICE For Primož Roglič?
After weeks of speculations, guessing games and comments, it is now set in stone that Primož Roglič will ride for Bora-Hansgrohe in 2024. But is that truly the right move for Primož Roglič? And can the team he chose actually help him claim the Tour de France victory, or was it all just a money grab?

It's not just Jumbo Visma that made Roglič superstar it's also Roglič who made visma a super team. He was their first star.
Indeed! We've got a video that covered exactly that as well :)
I would go as far to say JumboVis owes more to Roglic then the other way. (Think it was) his first Tour de France, in the Alps, not competing for yellow but the potential he showed there was very impressive from the start.
Jumbo is Rabobank, they were already a household name
@@veganpotterthevegan and with those same rabobank medicines
Agree
Being Dutch, I still hope for succes for Primoz even at the cost of the Dutch team TJV
This will be one of the most exciting TDF
at all. Four drivers about the same
Opportunities occur when uninjured
next year. The one with the biggest
Luck will win. I hope it will Primoz Roglič.
Primoz has his chance again, hope he can get it, will be hard with Pog and Ving.
True, but we're all rooting for him, would be epic if he actually manages to pull it off :)
@@WattsYT The TdF 2024 has all the potential of being the best TdF ever. For the first time in his career Vingegaard will find himself in new waters. Pogacar, Roglic and possibly even Remco will be doing to him what Roglic and him have been doing to Pogacar on that epic Stage 11 of TdF 2022. Providing his rivals are all healthy and he's not chugging any Bjarne Riise's coctails, he will have a very, very, very, very hard time.
And vice versa.
Roglic has only a few years left as a legitimate Tour contender. He needed a team that could offer him undisputed leadership, so Jumbo, UAE, and Soudal were unsuitable. That really left only Bora and INEOS with a strong enough team of support riders to target a Tour win. I think either could get him into a position where he can win it if he is strong enough.
Ineos haven't got the support riders to match Bora any more.
@@markholdsworth3486 I agree that Bora is stronger now, but support riders can only get a leader to a position where they can win if strong enough. I think INEOS can still gather a team capable of that.
I am so excited for what the Tour will deliver next year with four genuine contenders. The tactics with only two contenders can become pretty negative, but with four there's no more thinking that all I will do on this stage is never allow him out of my sight.
He will be more than fine. The thing is he is also taking the coach with him. That will hurt wout. That will hurt the entire team. Realistically it is great for him and greater for us. The TDF should get a regular TT stage rather than that gc TT from last year. That will draw remco out and we then get four serious contenders. Then Jonas cat hide from the wind all tour and force him to race.
Hopefully, his crash curse ends with the transfer. That's the only thing that has been haunting him ever since.
It's a chance he has created for himself. Bora is one of the best teams.
I give Jonas 30% Pogi 30% Rogla 30% Remco 5% and XY 5% for TDF
Everything can happenn in 3 weeks TDF
Bora is a good fit and the contract length is about right (3 years would also have been ok).
Money wise the best decision. However to often we have seen big names changing teams never preformed as they did before. Froom, Ewan, Alaphilippe, Dumoulin and many others
Hey Robb, these episodes are entertaining and informative. Love them.
It’s working better for me when listening only - the writing, talking cadence tells a good story, which is not surprising. the imagery is making me a bit confused, but maybe I’m just a bit slow to pick things up
What worries me about Primoz going to Bora is the sponsor Specialized, they will of course mess with his bike positioning as they always do wherever they go and it's not always to the benefit of the riders. Hopefully they won't tweak him too much, if it's not broke don't fix it!
Chris Froome mentioned this too - for his own bike positioning.
Cervelo is the worst brand out there, especially with the sram combination who want's to force one by drive system because for a single purpose: they don't want to pay shimano for patents. Not sure what's the deal about Specialized and bike positioning but I can't imagine it's worse then cervelo.
@@yspegel imo messing with positions for pros is much more of a concern than using a 1x.
More cracking commentary - another well put together video from Watts.
Rogliz is his own worst enemy. He seems to have a serious crash every TdF which impacts his chances of victory significantly. I don't think the move to Torah is going to bear the fruit for which he is seeking.
He is brilliant in one week races, but can't really see him fighting for the Tour against Vingo and Pogi. Last great contract for him.
It’s hard to accept that you’re no longer the best rider on the team and everything that comes with that. He could win the tour but “everything” will need to align up for him to do it.
Roglic would not have the total support at JV. Wout van Aert has his own agenda and Vingegaard is number one for the tdf. BH will be a way better prospect to win the TDF than JV!
Great video. It’s a great time to be a cycling fan.
Really great commentary and editing!
I'm Italian then I hope a Giro with Pogacar and Van Aert as Visma's captain (Il Giro 2024 is very suitable for both). Then TdF for Primoz. Pogi is only 25, he has a lot of years to re-win the Tour.
I think you need a narrator that actually watches the sport and knows how to pronounce these names
I believe its a right choice.I can't wait to see him with Nico D.
I hope Primoz the best! but I think he should have chosen Ineos... Will see.
He was happy with winnin of Kuss.
Remco vs pogi end jonas vs roglic the tdf wil be insane!
Your critique on Chris Froome is showing you don’t understand why they chose him.
Bora will be a very good team for Roglič.
Probably roglic should not count on vlasov, vlasov is a man riding for his own ambitions; Last racing day in the past Vuelta he attacked his own teammate (Cian) who was standing before him in the overall classification. Probably he didnt wannated to end behind a 19year old kid from his own team . His action gived team BORA somme negative feelings. But roglic will have plenty of riders who will help him. Adleast if the bora riders accept him in the group ;-) . The grenadiers would also have been a good choise for sure.
Carlton Kirby deep fake?
Bora needs to bolster their roster in support.
Primos definitely changed the sport with this move. Jonas will not be able to be as competitive as he is now without Roglic as his teammate. Jonas’s no longer will train with the third best rider currently and top 10 rider ever. Im sure UAE team is celebrating!
As is this will be any problem for Jonas. Also Primos was never a really good as a domestik like kuss oder wva...
@@gerritlikestohikeI wasn’t talking about who is his domestic. Jonas had to fight in his own team to be where he is. That person he fought was Tade’s biggest threat…
Top 10 rider ever who never won the Tour?
is this an AI voice?
Clearly yes, but I wonder if it's AI scripted
Bora has one missing ingredient which is why Primoz won't win the tour and that missing ingredient is Sepp Kuss. Sepp has guided Primoz through all 4 of his grand tour victories. Bora simply does have have a rider the quality of Sepp Kuss to help guide Primoz in the mountains and who does not have GC aspirations of his own
That is not needed he can still ride out of the wind just like Jonas does and race the last 2k. The problem comes if the TDF gets really smart and doesn't make a gc TT they will draw all four big stars. . Then sep doesnt matter and they will force Jonas out and have to race. That is the racing we fans deserve
Unpopular opinion. But I think a super domestique for the mountains is not as important as many people make it seem.
Only good thing in Primož's move to Bora is more money for him. Everything else is 2 steps back for him. Winning Grand Tour will be like a miracle.
he will crash tdf this time, not the other way around. go primoz!
Ha, Vlasov will not work for another teammate
Bahrain would have fitted him more imo
Roglic rarely attacks, just can’t see him winning against Pogi or Jonas
AI commentary is awful.
Bora had the money and was willing to buy Roglic out of contract? I don't think he had that many options to chose from.
I welcome the move.
