CyclingFriday, 05 April 2024 at 10:25
Primoz Roglic has had the bad luck of crashing hard two days in a row. Itzulia Basque Country was not the best of weeks for the BORA - hansgrohe rider who started off the week with a powerful win in the time-trial but has now abandoned the race injured. However, the worst has been avoided.
"Examinations undertaken at the hospital have shown that Roglic has not sustained any fractures as a result of his fall on today's stage of Itzulia," BORA - hansgrohe wrote in a message shared. "Heal up soon, Primož! We also wish all the other riders involved in the crash well."
Roglic has avoided big injuries or fractures after his fall, a positive outcome after the Slovenian spent several minutes in a ditch next to the road and several riders who were severely injured.

- "The Giro d'Italia 2024 saw a strong increase in audience figures across RAI networks, especially on Rai2 and RaiSport HD. The race also experienced a significant boost in online engagement, with record numbers of website visitors, video views, and media articles. The event reached over 700 million viewers worldwide...." Sorry, but Pogacar is boring only for ... envious? ex-riders.
maria2024202406-05-2025 - It's always the way in pro cycling - 1 rider wins and the rest,instead of working with each other to topple the better rider, they ride behind said rider collecting scraps that're left...
leedorney06-05-2025 - Better for the Giro? I'm sure viewers would rather see Tadej dominate the Giro from day 1, than see Van Hooydonck (if he were still racing for Visma) battle it out with whoever, maybe Uidtjebroeks (if he was in the Visma lineup).. pun not intended ,for the maglia rosa in the 21-day race.. A grand tour is not like a horse race. People want to see Tadej, Jonas, Remco, Primoz, MVDP, Van Aert etc... If not, I'll just watch the Tour of California.FredMan06-05-2025
- Respect to Caleb Ewan for making the decision to bow out of professional cycling. He's the only one that's knows what's best for him at this point in his life, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites06-05-2025 - Yeah, a big one 😁

- You were doing so well up until the last paragraph :-). So Almeida did not win a single stage race with UAE and now because of contract uplift he can win prestigious races? Come on. The man was being shaped to get to this level and took 2 years. After leaving QS he had lost his punch, he is not a sprinter of course but he had a good kick, he also lost a bit his TT performance, was a disaster going downhill. All this time he was improving his climbing and now he is recovering all the aforementioned qualities he had before. He is not putting on a show because of contract negotiations, he simply evolved also due to changing trainer. I think he will do a hat-trick in Tour de Suisse and then go with no pressure to the Tour. Depending on how well Jonas or Remco recover and how tired Roglic is from the Giro, a podium might fall on his lap. Then Vuelta maybe UAE can compensate his performance by making him the solo leader if Pogacar is doubting. However, where I am really interested to see Almeida is the World Championships. I am hoping the race is split early and then we see Almeida picking up corpses along the Rwanda streets up until he reaches an empty Pogacar and then tips him over the line. Then I wake up and life continues.Indioshak06-05-2025
- Jonas had also had a speed wobble on that same descent. They have both improved their descending skills since then, and in 2024 took scary risks on downhills.Hill3306-05-2025
- Should be a good one! It's been since 2022 since we have seen peak Pogi vs peak Vingo. 2023 Pogi had injuries and a suboptimal preparation. 2024 Vingo had even worse injuries and a poor runup to the Tour. UAE team has gotten stronger since 2022, while Visma maybe less strong.mobk06-05-2025

Lucky boy. That could have been worse. Others are not as lucky though.
Seems his body got used to it, just about the only one who didn’t break anything.
So, how come so many broke something, was it just from falling, the bumpy surface of the road or obstacles on the side they hit or what?
Or are they testing a replacement for Tramadol this year with different side effects?
I have a feeling that the ones that broke bones were the ones that crashed straight into that concrete ditch, or the large rocks that were right beside it.
I think an old fashioned sized straw bale costs around one Euro, probably less in those parts.
Small investment if you can’t borrow them, very environmentally friendly, useful as seats or viewpoints, known to be implemented in local amateur races all over the world.
