losing the Tour, against all expectations, on the final day ... then immediately after going up to congratulate Pogacar:

losing time in Giro '19 because of sickness and crashes ... then coming back four years later for this:

Tour de France crash in '22 ... dislocated shoulder + two broken vertebrae ... and still made the decisive moves on Telegraphe and Galibier, leading to Jonas' victory

first, I thought I just wouldn't give this attention ... but actually, each of these, as painful as they are, made the victories that followed even sweeter ... so let's remember:

Vuelta crash '22 ... seriously considered ending his career ... then came back and finally won his 4th Vuelta in '24

would fit with this picture – he's the only one wearing a woolen cap 👀 though maybe I'm overthinking it ...

just want to send him a hug and hope for the best for the next days 🥰 🍀

Jan answers it himself here – "no touch of brakes, wheels ... just crazy ice roads" ... fingers crossed he'll be OK 🤞

My main hope for this Giro is a safe race for everyone 🙏🙏 – and to see Roglič and the whole team be happy, have fun, and enjoy themselves!! Wishing them sunshine, good luck, and good legs!! 🥰 🥰

Also just saw that Vila is on his way to Albania – had a feeling he would be one of the sports directors, but nice to see it confirmed 💖

made it to the "after" photo 😅 hope you're feeling better!!

he almost looks like a saint here, doesn't he? that should help – hope you feel better soon!!

aww, love this picture 🥰 .... you have the most amazing lore + picture collection!! is this from the trip then? he got the tickets?

usually don't fall for advertisements – and don't even like rock-and-roll that much ... but these are just too cute 😍 loving the energy and sense that the whole family had a lot of fun with this 😁 🥰 ... @tadeypogachar.bsky.social I think you have the lore on Roglič's taste in music, right?

What a team, what a guy, what a ride!! 🥰 (3/3)

As Lora writes: "The spirit of a champion, and he is definitely one of them, is a special thing you either have or you don't". Going full "no risk, no glory" – and this picture shows how much it means to everyone that he could bring it home ... (2/3)
