Last minute at Tour de France. The Slovenian Primoz Roglic He withdrew from Friday’s exam after failing Thursday’s stage. Your team, the Red Bull-Bora HangshoeThis was reported after he underwent various medical tests.
“After a thorough examination carried out by our medical team in the last few hours, this morning the decision was made that Primoz Roglic will not be part of today’s start and will focus on other goals,” the note said.
The Slovenian is one of the favorites in this Tour de France. Winner of the last Critérium du Dauphiné, he was sixth overall, 4:42 behind the yellow jersey, Tadej Pogacar. On Thursday he lost two places after a heavy fall at the end of the twelfth stage.
Eternally cursed by the Tour de France, the only Grand Tour missing from his collection, he crossed the finish line more than two minutes behind the winner and with a bloody right shoulder.
Roglic, 34, has already fallen on the same shoulder in the Dauphiné and has a reputation for frequent crashes, either because of a lack of skill or because he came to cycling late after an early career in ski jumping.
On Thursday, there was nothing he could do when Kazakh runner Alexey Lutsenko crashed into a pudding-shaped separator island, spinning and running into several runners.
Pogacar and his two pursuers in the general classification, Remco Evenepoel (in 1:06) and Jonas Vingegaard (in 1:14), passed without a problem. Not so Roglic, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ran over his motorcycle.
