There are no words that could explain what Roglič means to Slovenia. He is the definition of a true Slovenian. Quiet, shy, yet determined and stubborn. Never gives up and fights every single day. Perfect winner and a huge achievement for him and for his nation. Incredible comeback story. You can't make this stuff up. Fairytale.
what do you mean "the definition of a true Slovenian", what's a true Slovenian?
@@toobalkain true Slovenian: at the core Slovenian people cherish and respect the values that made them where they are today. A native "true" Slovenian was a farmer, who lived in a beautiful nature. But that nature was also harsh, cruel and deadly, so in order to survive he had to be hard working, stubborn, kind and humble.
The way Roglič won the Giro in combination with the location on Monte Lussari goes deep into the roots of the mentality of Slovenian people. This has almost religious undertones when you get deep down into emotional aspect of it. And if you just think that it was his friend from a younger age, who got lost and then just happened to be there in the right moment to push him on when the chain fell off ...
This is bigger than life moment and people can feel it.
@@toobalkain you'd know if you ever visited Slovenia
@@lzzrzzr06 hard working, stubborn and humble I can live with, I took umbrage with shy, why would true anyone have to be shy is what I'm saying. It was an inspiring victory but where do you see religious undertones, aren't Slovenians like the 2nd most atheistic nation on Earth after the Chinese?
I've heard that bit about the friend but what do you mean he got lost, he got lost on the mountain, or had they lost touch, Roglič and that guy and then he just happened to be there when the chain fell off? Now that would almost have a religious undertone, Jung would have called it synchronicity, maybe they're meant for each other, Roglič and his long lost "buddy".:)
@@BoomsRiddico4868 would I now? I happen to live here.
When the chain went off, Roglič was perhaps the onley human on earth who still believed he can win giro...you can see the reaction of the team, all touhgt it was lost...after that tehnical Roglič was amazing...when asked after the stage how hard was that last part, he said he does not know how hard it was, and that all he knows he was flying :)
Sometimes a little obstacle like that gives some athletes an adrenaline boost and on retake you just go. I bet he really didn't felt nothing he was on adrenaline and all his focus was on going as fast as he could.
yes, the best french experts on eurosport said that it was over for Primoz.. And, Primoz provided us a great and beautiful emotion when he won.
Fun fact, his famous ski jump crash was at Planica just 9km away from here. A bit poetic.
Tour de France: Check out this crazy final ITT we had on Le Planche des Belles Filles!
Giro: Hold my beer.
As a fan of cycling, I am very happy for Roglic. He fought hard.
Vsakič ko gledam, mi tečejo solze, pa nisem malokrat gledal. Hvala ti Primož. Za mene si junak, idol predvsem pa Slovenec. Bravo šampion 🤘🤘🤘
Kultna voznja in briljantna zmaga. Bravo Primoz, bravo Slovenija😀😀😀
This stage saved the Giro imo. Was super exciting to watch and what and epic display of power by Roglic.
Couldn’t agree more! For the rest the Giro was awful really. This stage was amazing
@@THErangerTHEstill better than the Vuelta with two bad stages at the start and practically ending by stage 17 and full of drama. This Giro started meh and got a little bit more tense with each stage in the second part until it reached a spectacle of legendary proportions
The king of cycling and perfect gentleman 😀😀😀😀😀
Amazing Giro. So wonderful to see Roglic take pink after so many bad lucks and disappointments. Love Geraint Thomas and Almeida, too! All well-deserved!
well deserved win and pink jersey for Roglic
Pure Class rises to the top ,even with a dropped chain ! some boy! Chapeau champion!
commentary was poetic 😭
Except for Sean Kelly. He adds nothing 😂
Totally agree. Commentary horrible very very horrible
No kidding. Sean Kelly sounds like he had few too many pints and a tranquilizer before the broadcast lol! Jesus…🍻💉
Amazing Roglic! 🎉❤
Roglic majestic victory ✌️ deserved 👏, and Geraint also magnificent 2nd podium 🎉and great future for Almeida on 3er 😮2023 giro
Epic! Sooo much history on that mountain.
King of our hearts.
A reversal of fortunes for Roglic, and the Tdf loss, to this ecstatic Giro Win! He kept it close all the way and didn't over do his efforts as prior times. Primoz has his redemption.
Well done Eurosport ! Fantastic shoot, and congratulations for epic battle of Rogla !!!
Roglič...Kralj😊
Well fought til the end G! Roglic is a worthy winner🎉
Proud to be Slovenian
Роглич суперррр!! Но у вас ещё есть Погачар !
klemenčič?
0:02 "Un aficionado bajó a toda velocidad cuando vio lo que sucedía para ayudar en lo que pudiera al corredor esloveno, y resultó ser nada más y nada menos que Mitja Mežnar, un ex compañero de la selección eslovena de saltos de esquí de Roglic cuando 'Rogla' se dedicaba a ello"
Simply epic.
Geraint Thomas is my new hero. He has motivated me so much to train to try to defeat my rivals after watching his performance in this Giro, Thank you Geraint Thomas, you have lit a fire in me brighter than that surrounding my life!
As someone whos a massive geraint fan i was gutted.
But primroz effort was armtrong esque.
I dont mean doped side of things, i mean that refusal to quit, the mental strength to dig deep, staying calm and trusting his numbers and his ability.
Absolute weapon of a man
True cycling fans will know what you mean by Armstrong esque. I remember watching the TDF in the Armstrong era and he had that eye of the tiger. Stare through your soul type of focus.
@@tikkat3962 armstrong i believe would or could never be broken mentally..
He was one tough man
Who would think few years ago that out homeland Slovenija will become such a cycling superpower because of two aces such as Roglič and Pogačar!!!!!!🤗😃🥰👍🤩🙌💖✌✨✨
You should be thanking their pharmacists .. they’re definitely in the best drugs .. guess we’ll only found what they were on in about 10 years or so
@@jsquire5pa stop being such a hater
@@jsquire5pa Of course every winner after Lance is now and will be forever on drugs that's for shure!🤡🤔
Great comeback Giro! At least you made the last 3 races exciting.😄
NO RISK NO GLORY NO ROGLA!!!💪
Nice summary by ES, I only wish they added Primož "disbelief" when they told him in the tent , that he has won.
A word about fans:
1. I want to congratulate fans (probably 85% of them were Slovenian), which did respect Thomas and moved to the side when he was ridding and did not do any antics like in some races ; overall Giro spectators are the best of all 3 GCs.
2. I am disappointed in some Slovenian fans who were too close when Primož was ridding (I think someone even touched him). I understand that there is emotion involved (or sadly sometimes even alcohol), but there is no excuse for someone to run next to any rider! In this kind of stages , people can/should yell all they want, but there is no excuse not to move yourself to the edge of the road and cheer from there like a true cycling fan.
Amazing work from Italian organizers to prepared this stage logistic nightmare to a perfection; they also organized free buses from Slovenian side of the border. Overall, people could learn a lot from this years Giro.
True sportsman will make you love the winners and losers. This Giro was like that. I am happy for all but Rogla had my heart.
Man Rob Hotch is hella top commentator
But he never says something you don’t already know
@@cesc1495 not everyone who watch is a pro cyclist
🏁🏁😎😎👍🏼🏁🍀
Great giro
😊
Kelly Bang on with the commentary as usual 😊
Simply The Best!
Primoz!!!!
Roglič, Pogačar and Slovenija - cycling super power!!!!
100% красавцы !
The best Roglic!!
Devastated for G… so close! Ecstatic for Roglic though, he battled there… if this was boxing this wouldve been a draw
Rogla!!!🎉
Roglic a legend. Olympic Champion, Vuelta Winner, Giro Winner, if he had a TDF or a world cup. He will complete cycling
Respect to Primoz and well done for using innovation and logic. Had G been riding SRAM and not conservative Shimano he might have held a healthier cadence and won 🤷♂️
I might be wrong, but I think if Thomas had an attacking style of riding he would have had a greater buffer coming into this stage. That's where Froome was different.
Aye, I'm not overly comfortable with the whole thing of swapping components to gain an advantage. As you rightly say, Shimano don't offer that incredibly low 'SRAM' gearing range, which surely will give anyone using SRAM a cadence advantage. I mean, Kudos to both of them for that mightily impressive battle, but......
Heartbreaking for G
And me too. 😭
Incrível como o italiano adora o ciclismo!! Como o ciclista é um atleta de destaque pois aqui no Brasil não temos essa tradição 😢
Full respect for Thomas and his fair play after losing Giro.. Rogla deserves this win unfortunately without Remco but with same result. I hope Primoz will find one new team to go and win TD next year. Unfortunately in JV doesn't deserve him..
Oh man! I knew roglic would come out on top but j was really hoping G would pull through. Aah well, i am just happy G has a world tour under his belt :)
Side note: the last 100 meters of that climb is more climbing than we had in our state road race. And the field shattered when it went up it.
So they had a swap bike and had a replacement for the swap bike? Mighty impressive. I am guessing it’s par for the course now in these races .
I was there. It was great.
I was rooting for Geriant.. I'm a cyclist who raced at club level.. I also love and admire Primoz.. Heartbreak at the tour.. What a fantastic finish to the slow burning Giro.. Almedia your still young.. G. 37 I won my first race in my 50,s.. Cycling Cardio long life coffee and friends.. life is good..
Wow, wow, wow! I was never a big fan of G but man is he a classy fella! I have gained my respect for him! Well Rogla, you finally turned one around, eh?! Kudos to all of these guys, what a hard Giro that was! Bravo to all riders and for this final thriller! Even though on a side note I think Remco would have won with ease and with a very strong margin
In another team Thomas might have won the overall but INEOS are far to conservative in previous stages....on this alone its great that Primoz Roglic won...
My thoughts too. Ineos rode like "it's Roglic's race to lose" and he ended up winning! Something I've seen from serial grand tour winners is they NEVER rest until they have a COMFORTABLE buffer.
I like Roglic but not over Thomas.😭
To be fair they only had 5 guys left vs a full team for Jumbo and it's been a tough giro with the weather
@@racter4203 That's true. I didn't take that into account. 👍
Same situation as Roglic at Tour de France when Pogacar took the win from him
@@lencekk Oh I agree completely, both ROGLIC & Thomas both ride conservatively and take VC very few risks which in my opinion makes for boring racing ....it's what makes POGOCAR the opposite, totally exciting race but maybe that's the beauty of youth 🙏
Thomas is a beautiful 2nd
So much for the 1x chainring being more reliable.
Memories of Greg Lemond Vs Laurent Fignon 1989
Who is the Commentator?
G’s Dogma had no problem passing the little bump. Does that mean shimano is better than sram?
Kuss' reaction... haha "Wtf is he doing? Roglic stuff AGAIN?! This time on a climb rather than descend. C'mon, I am leaving this team right now..."
Imagine being so gifted on a bike that despite everything he does, he still wins the Giro.
@@mitchellsteindler Yeah, huge talent, power. If he would be more skilled at handling etc., maybe by starting riding earlier then 20+, he would be even better (e.g., perhaps would avoid many crashes).
“The race if his life…” not wuite but those uk boyz know how to spew the hyperbole😇
Thomas didn’t have much supporter on the road. Should blame Brexit
😂😂😂. Don't be like that.
Would have won if he used rim brakes...
Hello Durian
This Commentator makes is so dramatic !
I prefer it when they spoil the outcome in the title, saves me watching the video ;-)
I don't mind the spoilers much since I want to see HOW it went not just the RESULT.
Belgians fans, watch this video a few times and learn from Slovenians how to cheer for EVERYONE! No booing, no throwing stuff. Watch, learn.
Sram …?
Sram 😔
Dreadful calling .
first
😅
Nope 😅
Ringrazia l organizzazione che ha mandato a casa remko
L'unico commento di italiani -> complottisti AHAHAHAYHAH
Thomas always a RABBIT.😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃
Porque Roglic usa una bicicleta de ciclo montañismo, le robaron el giro a Thomas
I would be sorry for him, but i'd like someone to lose a race because of the idiocy of the 1by setup.
Roglič eats Thomas ... Demolished all the others ... He could stop in the middle of the stage + drink a cup of espresso caffe and still won Giro 2023 ... 😜🚲🚀🛸⏱🔥🎇🥇🏆🚴🥂👍💪✌🏟☕
Роглич монстр!!! Словению с победой!
