After being involved in a crash that also saw the INEOS Grenadiers duo Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart hit the deck, Primoz Roglic has reassured that he his feeling fine and still fighting for the Maglia Rosa.
"You can see that the pants are a bit damaged," the Jumbo-Visma leader pointed out in a post-stage interview. "I'm going to take a shower in a bit, I'm still there," he adds with a smile.
Although the Maglia Rosa, Geraint Thomas was also able to quickly recover a rejoin the peloton, Tao Geoghegan Hart wasn't quite so lucky. The former Giro winner who had started the day sitting third in the general classification left the race in an ambulance with Roglic's Jumbo-Visma teammate Koen Bouwman revealing the Brit thought he had broken his leg.

- Pidcock has never been consistent enough for a Grand Tour GC fight. Perhaps, the early season success in the stage race was due to the lack of depth in the field. Now that the top dogs are in the Grand Tour, he seems to be overshadowed. But how far can he go? If he doesn't try till the end, he will never know.
KerisVroom23-05-2025 - Del Toro and Ayuso it not Contador and Armstrong. Contador was leader as well as Armstrong. Conatdor had already 3 GTs won. Del Toro came as gregario and Ayuso the leader with Adam Yates. Also Del Toro hasn't even finished top 10 in GTs and also not many 1 week races.abstractengineer23-05-2025
- As Contador did, lets see who wins on the road at least Del Torro doesn't have to deal with Armstrong and Bruyneel doing everything to stop him winningslappers6623-05-2025
- Visma have screwed up immeasurably, tactically on this, Vuelta 24 remember that debacle! Tel Toro is the strongest. During a notable Giro Mikel Landa was the strongest but who kept getting backed, Fabio Aru, he never won that Giro - a team SHOULD always ride for the strongest rider!
