Rate my musical taste from 1 to 10 😅 seems a bit NPC compared to some other people that I've seen on here!

And that’s it! With optional races, the number of race days is 60, without them it’s 52. I tried to plan the programme so that Rogla doesn’t clash much with the other GC guys but at RBH, it’s kinda hard with all their leaders.

UCI ROAD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS RR (27 September)
Let’s end the career in the Slovenian jersey at the biggest one-day race of the year. Rogla could be a good domestique for the almost-certainly triumphant Pogačar and then they could party hard together at the hotel ;)

VUELTA A ESPAÑA (22 August–11 September)
This should be the peak of the season, simple as that. RBH should give him a chance to go all out for the title at a last race with them, maybe with Hindley/Pellizzari waiting in the wings as secondary GC guys. Let’s win that 5th title!

VUELTA A BURGOS (5–9 August)
Burgos is yet another race that Rogla won and he can use it to really get the legs going ahead of the Vuelta. There are nice uphill finishes and sometimes even a TT plus there’s not much travelling after San Sebastián.

DONOSTIA SAN SEBASTIÁN KLASIKOA (1 August)
First warm-up race before Vuelta, San Sebastián actually suits Rogla and RBH could use him similarly to this year, as a second leader or maybe even as a sole one.

SLOVENIA NCs (25 June ITT & 28 June RR) - optional
Rogla might be tired but a last showing in front of the home fans and with small competition could actually result in 2 wins depending on the parcours. Then he can stay at home and relax before starting preparation for the 2nd part of the season.

TOUR DE SUISSE (17–21 June)
The peak of the first part of the season, Tour de Suisse is the missing piece of the Small Tours jigsaw. The mountain stages are hard but there’s usually a good TT and the race is now just 5 days long.

TOUR DE ROMANDIE (28 April–3 May)
A race that Rogla won twice, it’s quite suitable with usually a weaker startlist, nice mountain stages and some good TT action. Doesn’t mean Rogla should walk this but he should be one of the favourites.

LA FLÈCHE WALLONNE (22 April) - optional
Mostly dependent on weather and his form, this is not a race that Rogla would be a favourite for but I still believe that he could get a nice result at this race or at least help someone like Van Gils.

ITZULIA BASQUE COUNTRY (6–11 April)
Another race with good memories, the parcours suit Rogla with shorter but steep climbs. There could be a nice TT as well plus there might not be many any aliens so a shot at GC could be realistic.

TIRRENO–ADRIATICO (9–15 March)
A race that Rogla won twice, Tirreno offers 7 days of good racing, usually with a shorter TT and some nice (medium) mountain stages. The weather might not be as good as in 🇵🇹 but always better than at Paris–Nice.

VOLTA AO ALGARVE (18–22 February) - optional
A race that suits Rogla, it’s a good preparation for the season in nice weather. It might be too early but there’s usually a TT and at least 1 unipuerto stage. Also let’s not forget some nice memories from 2017.

PRIMOŽ ROGLIČ’S IDEAL RACE PROGRAMME IN 2026 (according to me)
As this might be the last season of my favorite cyclist of all time, I started to think of an ideal programme that Rogla could do in 2026. I tried to balance 2 things: races that suit Rogla and races where I would like to see Rogla.

Greetings to #CyclingBlueSky from 🇷🇴! I went on a little trip to this nice country and will still be here tomorrow so won't be able to watch Il Lombardia 🙁 Hot take: that promising guy from Slovenia, Pogačar, might be good! Watch out for him! 👀

Didn't post about it yesterday (it was one hell of a day) but I visited the start of Stage 1 of Czech Tour in Prague! Even with the hot weather I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was nice, only the horrendous presenter who butchered every single name and couldn't create a proper sentence was a bit meh.

Some memories of last year's race, yes, the startlist isn't ideal this year but I believe it's still gonna be very nice! The race should now apparently be available on Eurosport though so no pirating/VPN + Czech TV necessary anymore 👍 #CzechTour2025

Egan Bernal is out of contract in 2026... and I don't think he should stay at Ineos. His salary is high so not that many teams will afford him but Lidl-Trek, EF (if Carapaz leaves), Quick-Step or even Decathlon should go after him. Maybe Movistar but I'm afraid they prefer Ayuso.
