Primoz Roglic has again been caught up in a crash at the 2024 Tour de France and with just 10km to go on stage 12, the Slovenian faces a race against time to get into the peloton by the end of the day.

As the stress levels began to rise before the inevitable bunch sprint, Alexey Lutsenko of the Astana Qazaqstan Team flipped scarily over his handle bars in the middle of the bunch, bringing a Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe rider down head over heels on top of him. Whilst it was clear initially if it was Roglic himself, the entire team of the Slovenian were working hard to get back into the bunch.

When Roglic crossed the line, the cuts and scrapes all down his right side were visible, showing it was in fact Roglic who had crashed. In the end, it was a 2:27 deficit on the day for the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader.
