“I’m very proud to be part of this historic moment” - Primoz Roglic reacts to Tadej Pogacar's World Championship win
CyclingMonday, 30 September 2024 at 10:09
Tadej Pogacar has written another piece of cycling history for himself and his nation this Sunday afternoon at the 2024 World Championships in Zurich. The Slovenian secured the road race victory and the Rainbow Jersey via an astonishing 100km attack.
Pre-race, much of the talk in regards to the Slovenian team was about how the superstar duo of Pogacar and Primoz Roglic would combine. As it turned out, Pogacar's race winning attack from so far out, negated any potential concerns over dual leadership. Nevertheless, Roglic spoke with immense delight in his post-race interview afterwards.
“It’s amazing. I’m very proud to be part of this historic moment," the recent Vuelta a Espana champion reflected in conversation with Eurosport post-race. “I think he followed his instincts. That brings him a lot of victories. It was great. Normally we race against each other, now we race together. It's really nice to be part of this victory."

- Geraint Thomas was very surprised at UAE's obnoxiously foul tactics - "Speaking of BRAINFARTS..." he said. And very lethal brainfarts they were - Richie Carapaz got hit right in the face. Look at his expression when Del Toro asked him to ride - he was LIVID. Fortunately, Yatesy dodged the brainfarts... who knows what might have happened otherwise...

- Gilbert was an amazing racer, 4 of the 5 monuments, and that Ardenne triple in that miracle season of his. And yet, here's Pogacar who was one dumb sprint away from winning the triple this season, just like he was one dumb wrist injury away from doing it a few years ago. What did Pogacar do, to lead to these words? Perhaps it was that he simply defeated the Visma LAB team, and didn't even try to compete hard on the last climb of the race. He didn't give the satisfaction of racing hard, after racing hard. Perhaps that's it, a kind of humiliation while winning?RidesHills16-06-2025
- "to force a one-on-one. We succeeded"... oh yes... a big success, because you were alone (no yates, no gee). Most stupid strategy of the year. At least Isaac is a boy... you a very experimented man (supposedly) .
maria2024202416-06-2025 - Carapaz did what he always does: race against the guys he is with, even when it's against his own interest. He seems like an absolutely lovely guy off the bike, but he hasn't mastered the basic rule of cooperating at the front until everyone's chances have been improved, before attacking repeatedly. Carapaz has done this too many times for this to be on Del Toro.
Barney16-06-2025 - IDT didn't whine about losing the Giro. Carapaz lost it, and hasn't stopped whining.bobo16-06-2025
be part? except a few seconds at the start, I didn't see him in the rest of the race: he didn't work for the team at all.
What a pity, he really could be part of the history if he had helped his young and talented fellow country (at least a little bit) demonstrating greatness, maturity and wisdom... but the selfishness seems to be stronger.
Yes part. First time Slovenia has won the world championship and he was part of the Slovenian team. If Roglic’s help had been needed it would have been late in the race. His role was never to be domestique at km 0.
He did pull at the climb before Tadej's attack. He was never to be a dedicated domestique but he did what he could.
What race were you watching? He was there to pull on the climb when Tadeg attacked. He didn't try and work to pull him back. This wasn't the Dutch womens team we're talking about!
