This is clearly Slovenian Primoz Roglic (32 years old) not made for him tours, a career in which he has participated five times and in which this year he added two abandonments, both in a row. A bad fario that’s the corridor of Jumbo-Visma which collides with his excellent performance in other races, such as the returnwhere in three times he joined he achieved success.
The former ski jumper’s relationship with the Tour began in 2017, the year in which he won a stage and finished 38th overall. In 2018 he started the attack on the podium and 1 minute from the third step occupied by Froome. All indications are that in 2020 he will achieve his first Tour, especially when he faces the time test on the penultimate day with enough margin to succeed in Parisbut after his countrymen wore yellow for eleven daysto Pogacar stolen his glory La Planche des Belles Filles.
Still affected emotionally, in 2021 he left after not starting on the ninth day, weighed down by injuries from the collapse of the third stage. This year, fate left him in the fifth round when he experienced a severe fall, in which the shoulder he had placed himself on was removed. Heavily, he continued the race helping his ally and race leader Vingegaardbut his mind was elsewhere, in the return. Until yesterday he did not start going into the Spanish round in top form for his fourth crown.
“I am leaving the Tour to allow my injuries to heal properly. After talking to the team, we decided I would not start today. I am proud of my contribution to the current standings and I am convinced that the team will achieve our ambitions. For in yellow jersey and green jersey. Thank you all for your great support “, commented from his Twitter account a Roglic that at the very beginning of this season he already had problems with his knee that he didn’t allow to reach the Tour as much as he wanted, to the point that he himself told me to go to France to prepare La Vuelta.
‘Rogla’before leaving the Tour, he was classified in 21st position, 33’39 ”behind the leader, his teammate in Jumbo-Visma Jonas Vingegaard.
