Primoz Roglic was on his way to have a spotless run-up to the
Tour de France; and entered Itzulia Basque Country with storming form and his first win with
BORA - hansgrohe. His spring was then turned upside down, but good news emerge from the German team's camp.
Roglic crashed twice during the Basque race, including the mass accident which also left Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel injured. The Slovenian however did not suffer fractures; although he abandoned whilst leading the race. But the effects of the two crashes saw him having to miss out on Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège where he was initially scheduled to race.
