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”.

- It is kind of funny. I thought he was the superior intellect??? I broke him down in less than thirty minutes. Technically, I'm not going to dox him, and Lompoc, Ca is too far away for me to pay him a visit, which I wouldn't do anyway. I've made a screenshot of every outrageous thing he's said in case he keeps going and then I'll let the popo pay him a visit at work. Internet tough guys make me laugh, LOL! Ok, let's get back to the Giro.awp17-05-2025
- This is getting funny, c’mon bring it on, try to get further than Zuck vs. Musk and cancel each other to help the European version of Maga according to Jumpy ;-)Mistermaumau17-05-2025
- Not directed at you: Firstly, not going to trust a list that features Jay Vibe 28mins down. Secondly why if gaining 4 seconds over 500km is devastating do we criticise a superlative when Reusser gets ejected 20 seconds over 1km? Thirdly, is Matxin happy to tacitly leave his remaining riders to fight each other at the expense of team structure? I think yes. There’s a cat and there are mice and they can do what they like as long as the cat is away. I’m pretty sure the « selfish « attitude of Ayo is partly due to encouragement, after all, has anyone heard or witnessed him getting disciplined for any initiatives? It’s a little easy and cheap to focus attitude criticism on riders alone, there’s more to it.Mistermaumau17-05-2025

- Yes I did. You're an armchair cyclist whose a$$ never hits the saddle, if I hadn't broken my ankle in February I'd be over 5,000 miles for the year. You are weak in intellect, weak in words and weak in intent just like all of your pathetic, marxist, lunatic brethren, all you know is violence, it will lead you to where you belong soon enough. Bubba will bend you over everyday, you know that's what you really want. Admit it loser...awp17-05-2025

- Yes, you're a right-wing a$$hole. No, you didn't do 120 miles today: you're a terrible liar, just like your hero Trump. I rode 86 miles with 9300' of climbing. Again, please just spare us and kill yourself. Thanks.verve82517-05-2025
- As always, you're wrong and embarrassingly dumb. I and all of my friends are left of Marx. You, on the other hand, are simply and ill-advised a$$hole.verve82517-05-2025
