"It's all good" - Primoz Roglic reassures after late crash on stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia

On what was a day where it seemed like nearly all of the Giro d'Italia was involved in a crash at some point or another. Primoz Roglic was one such rider, thankfully though he is injury free and managed to safely finish in the bunch.
"It's all good, huh,” the Slovenian leader of Jumbo-Visma told Cycling Pro Net in a post-stage interview. “It could have ended worse. The guys did a great job getting me back quickly. After that, I was very lucky with that second crash because I was hit in the leg by someone who fell, but I'm happy to be here at the finish now."
Roglic's main rival for the Maglia Rosa, Remco Evenepoel suffered not one but two crashes on a truly chaotic day on the wet roads of the Italian coast. “I asked him how it went and he said it was fine. Fortunately,” Roglic revealed about his great rival's condition.
"He got the bike from Koen Bouwman and was immediately returned. Everything went well. After that there were crashes everywhere and then there were breaks in the peloton. We have to wait and see what is done by the jury, but it was in the last three kilometres," recaps Jumbo-Visma's sports director Marc Reef. “We know that these Italian roads are very slippery in the rain. It's important to be focused and keep Primož safe. That is the main goal, also for tomorrow."

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
