After a nasty crash on the descent of the Olaeta climb on stage 4 of Itzulia Basque Country Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard were forced to abandon the race, with all of them suffering injuries to varying degrees.
Tadej Pogacar, who is set to compete against all three riders at the Tour de France this summer, took to Twitter to talk about the crash, as he said “crashes are never something we want to see in cycling. Sadly today we saw a really nasty one”.
His UAE Team Emirates teammate Jay Vine was also forced to abandon the race, as Pogacar said “wishing my teammate Jay and all my comrades in the peloton a speedy recovery after their tough fall today”.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
