the slovenian Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma), Vuelta’s triple winner, has not yet started the fifteenth stage of the Tour of France, between Rodez and Carcassonne, so the leader of the general classification, Dane Jonas Vingegaard, lost valuable money before the next stages in the Pyrenees.
Roglic, with back and shoulder problems since he fell on the fifth day of the Tour in Pavés, he has since competed with physical problems which prevented him from performing at the level expected of him, so he decided to abandon the career.
“I am leaving the Tour to allow my wounds to heal properly. After talking to the team, we decided that I would not be coming out today, ”commented the second classified on the 2020 Tour on his team’s twitter.
Roglic, 21st overall, more than 33 minutes behind Vingegaard, he is convinced that his team will eventually win the yellow and green jersey including the Danish and the Belgian Wout Van Aert.
“I am proud of my contribution regarding the current standings and I am convinced that the team will achieve our ambitions for the yellow jersey and green jersey. Thank you all for your great support,” he said.
